Thanks everyone. I have good news. I got out my lightest recurve 56# @ 28" and I could actually pull it with my two good fingers. I shot it several times last night and think with a little more practice, ill get it down. Cant say it felt very good on the bumb finger. I guess sometimes you just got to feel the pain.
Also, I just heard from a friend down south who wants me to come hunt with him. I took a P and Y on this land last year, so it looks like things might be back in play.
