Started with a Ben person Recurve back in 74. No bucks with that bow but a couple of does. "Upgraded" in about 79? To a Darton SL50 I think it was.50% letoff and was a tank. Cutting edge though.
Now shooting a Vortex set at 52 lbs and an Excalibur Crossbow for which I have a permit. When its warmer out I shoot the compound and when it cools down I shoot the Xbow.Gotta say I like the crossbow after a couple of surgeries but there always will be an art associated with good bow shooting.
Not sure how old all of you guys are but I bet I got underwear as old as most of you. I startedSO SO long ago that we used two part skunk cover scent. It was like handling anthrax.
