Today I received a recurve from a buddy in the mail. One of those try it, like it, buy it deals. A lot more bow for a lot less money than I'd pay for something of lesser quality. Well I'm here to tell you. I forgot how simple shooting a bow can be. I shot about 40 arrows from 10-20 yards. I am a dead eye of sorts(almost) at 10. I had a couple groups of 6 arrows I could wrap my hand around. 15 was spread a little more. 20... we'll talk about that another time.[:'(] I was surprised at how well I shot with it out of the rack. I was just using some old 2115s with 4 inch feathers I had laying around. They really shot well from this stick. It was nice to grab the string with my fingers again. It doesn't get any more simple than a bare stick, a string, an arrow and your fingers. My goal is to become proficient enough with it by July to beable to take in on some crop damage hunts. 10 yards is no problem. I'd really like to get the same confidence at 20 before I venture off.
