Neat story jj.I started out with an el cheapo recurve that a roomate gave me back about 25 to thirty years ago.Then stepped up to my first compound a couple years later.Now after shooting my compounds for all these years I have a want and need to pick up a simple stick and string and go back to my roots .Look how you had to focus when you shot indoors,knowing that if you missed what could have happened,I think that just that little bit of pressure is always needed to keep us sharp
