I like my 'trad' bows.My shoulder hates 'em tho' and the shoulder is definately winning the argument. When I went to the Orthopedic Doc recently, he basically told me to quit shooting
all my bows.

He brought up using a crossbow instead. [&o]
So while I've killed numerous small critters with my recurve, it's doubtful I'll ever use one to take a deer.
Oh, and I'm right-handed but I shoot a bow left-handed because I'm very left eye dominate.
