Do you have experience with a recurve or any bow?
Why recurve? Lots of guys like them. Just curious why you do?
Myself, I don't care, I just want to be in the woods longer. Nostallgia is not one of my things.
When I did buy my bow, besides reading up on stuff, I ended up going with the one that felt good in my hand. When buy crossbow, it was sale, reputation of company.
