I'm guessing that this sort of post pops up rather regularly, but ... if, and right now that is a big one, my shoulder heals up fine I am going to get back into hunting with a "traditional" bow. That is where I stated in 1964. I don't imagine I will ever be able to can handle more than about 60#. Past 2 seasons my shoulders ahve been so busted up that I have been sing a X-Bow. Nothing against that, just want to try to fget back to my archery huntiong roots. I'd like to get fully geared up for under $1000. Looking for advice on a good preforming bow and shafts. I am in central Al. so if you know of any good traditional bow shops within about 200 miles of Birmingham, that would help me out as well. Thanks
