RE: Recurve or Compound??
If you have the money I would go with the compound.I learned the basics on a long bow as a child,started hunting with a recurve as they didn' t have compounds then. now use the compound.As long as your out there in the woods you' ll enjoy yourself. Drawing on a deer and holding waiting for the right moment takes a little muscle, you' ll be glad you bought the compound with the let off. Also they shoot faster and flatter. a little fogiving for not having spent more time on the range.Hope this helps some and good luck to you. don,t forget the four seasons almost summer,summer,still summer and DEER SEASON
