I have settled on the bow I am buying. I am buying a 60" CheckMate Falcon, but I am trying to choose between 45#@28" or 50#@28". I know the ultimate decision is mine to make, but I would like to hear some of your experiences if you switched from compound to recurve. I don't want to overbow myself to start out but I would like to be able to hunt whitetails with the bow this fall. I have been leaning toward the 45# in an effort to more easily learn to shoot the bow. I will be drawing approx. 29" with a recurve, and I have normally shot a compound with 30" draw set at 65# with 65% letoff.
I have hammered LBR with questions on recurves and he has answered them all. He has give me his thoughts on this subject, but I was hoping to hear some of everyones experiences with converting from modern to traditional.
