Brian, I too had the hankering to "get back" and remembered that I had a recurve in hiding in the cabinet, so out it came and I have sent off for feather fletching. I too miss the feel of raw fingers and the ease at witch it all comes together and just feels right on release. Make a commitment and just get out and do it! If nothing else it'll make you a better compound shooter. It is the path of the arrow, not tools to get it airborne, that we crave!
