This is what I was thinking about. How about if there was a recurve only season for a week or two. Just like there is a muzzleloader season for those who are fermiler with gun seasons. This is just what I was thinking about tell me what you think.

I wouldn't be for it.

As far as muzzle loader season we are in a shotgun area and a muzzleloader has a better range then a smoothbore shotgun. These new things supposed to be primitive?

Why do you think recurves should get their own season?

One bad thing I could honestly see happening is people going out and buying one and not practicing as mich as you need to shooting one.

I was just saying, that a compound bow was easyer to shoot farther. Than a recurve bow that would make it a harder and a differnt season and, I do consider it a primitive class of bow wich I like about it.

So why would you need your own season?

It is harder to shoot.

I read some where that trad shooters make up about 5% of bow hunters that's why I don't see a need for another special season.

I think that should start right after spear season.

Why do they need a muzzeloder season anyways, in my opinion there all in the same tree thay both are a differnt way of hunting.

If we get anymore seasons in MO you will need a scorecard to keep track. I already have to check if I have to wear orange to bowhunt. We have a special urban doe hunt(GUN), a youth hunt(GUN), gun season, muzzle loader, and bow season. I think we have too many already.

Sure... do it... first 2 or 3 weeks of the bow season. I have a recurve, no problem. Think of all the new marketing and places to spend money.[&:]

Bring it. LOL Actualy they already have some units her in Oregon set up that way.

I wouldn't mind seeing it as part of primitive hunting season, but I'd also include longbows and selfbows. Here we have to shareprimitive seasonwith in-line muzzleloaders with scopes.

BTW, I'd be fine is they legalized spear hunting here in NY. In some states it never became illegal.
