RE: I just bought a recurve..........
Root Warrior was a good bow. Pretty much a longer version of the Brush-Master. And yes, Arthur' s correct: You' ve got to use Dacron on the bow...no Fast-Flight or equivilent.
One things for sure about that bow...it' s going to spoil you for smooth-drawing. I' ve shot a lot of high-$$ custom recurves that don' t draw as smooth as Ernie Root' s old recurves.
