RE: Your First Bow???
Bear Grizzly 50# recurve purchased new in 1973. My first compount was purchased in 1984 - a Browning Explorer with 40% letoff.
I wish they would make compounds with wood risers again. They were beautiful and light weight.

my first was a 45# "bear brown fox hunter" recurve.Then the whitetail hunter @ 50#. Next came the 55-75# darton mustang. Now I have a high country and 55# browning wolf recurve. All great bows.

RE: Your First Bow???
I had plenty of toy bows when I was a kid and still have two of them and some wooden arrows the kids play with now. My first real bow was a gift from my little brother 3 years ago, it is an old PSE compound, round wheel, 57# max pull, 48" axle to axle, no idea what model it is, but it works for me for now. It has given me 2 kills, no misses. When the budget allows for it I will upgrade to a better one.
The best of luck in all your hunting endeavors!!!

My first bow was a wooden limbed Pearson "Grey Ghost". Heavy, slow, and ugly, but I tell ya what, I shot that ol' boy straight and killed many a deer with it. It's strange, now that I am shooting a top of the line get-up, I can't say I shoot it any better....makes ya wonder if I should still be shooting that ol' klunker.
