Go for it brother. Whatever makes you happy is the key. I too have a really nice recurve here that is collecting dust.[:'(] Again....[:'(]I just bought a new bow stringer and I'm looking to get a lighter weight recurve, so I can work on my form. We'll see.....The last time I tried to make the conversion, I didn't became proficient enough to confidently hunt with the recurve, so it was back to the compound. Good luck to you!!! Jim
