RE: Won a recurve
I'm guessing you've got some amount of cash tied up in your compound and crossbow gear. You wouldn't want that all to be money wasted would you?
If you shoot that recurve, before you know it you'll want to hunt with it, and then you won't even pick up the other stuff anymore, such a waste.
I would do you the favor of taking it off your hands to prevent you from wasting all that cash. The money that you won't be wasting, and therefore are saving, would be more than adequate compensation.
