Cmag,
I did just what you were talking about this last year, and to say it's gratifying is an understatement. I killed a doe at 6 yards with a longbow on Oct 9th and it felt like I had never killed a deer before, the adrenaline rush was unlike any I had ever had before when shooting wheels.
Drop me an e-mail and I think I have some ideas for you about bows, and can maybe hook you up with someone in the UBI to get ya started so to speak.
I would post a couple of web sites for you to visit but Chad scolded me for that before so I will do it via e-mail if youd like. I know of a pretty decent recurve for sale made by an Illinois guy that is not high priced and from wht I understand is quite a shooter so let me know....
