I have a light (50 pound) recurve that I use when I stil hunt in Corn Fields so I can snapshoot(Can't do that well with a compound!) I also have a takedown recurve that is identicle to my compound and serves as a backup. I am glad I took it to Africa as the 3rd day my compound threw the cable and was out of action till I got home. With the recurve I continued bowhunting and had a great time!
