Nice pics. I bought a ben pearson palomino 55# recurve in 1997. I got a bunch of cedar arrows as well. I wanted to hunt with it that fall. Tendonitis in my left elbow put an end to that idea. maybe I will give it another try someday.

RE: (PICS) Join me over the years (Traditional Style)
 

I love it! Very impressive indeed!

Hey there Brian I finally found some pics for ya. I've taken a good number of animals with my recurve but I can't find hardly any of the pics. My mother must have them at her place I'm guessing. I hope she does anyway.[:@]

My brother and I shooting our recurves, he was 3 years old and I was 6 years old. Not to bad of form for youngsters ha??!!


My 1st recurve kill. I was 21 years old, the bear dressed 150lbs. My mom and my brother are in the pic with me.


We were celebrating after I got my 1st animal (bear) with a recurve.


We went 10 for 11 that year on bear. It was in 1995 I believe. All of the bear were recurve/longbow kills.


My 2000 Mn bear. Dressed 325lbs scored 20 5/16 P&Y.


My 2007 buck. 210 dressed, scored 140 1/8 P&Y.


My 2001 bear. Dressed 180lbs.


My 2007 bear. Dressed 135lbs.


My brothers 1998 P&Y BUCK. Scored 139"
