New Recurve
Well I picked up me new recurve today and I really like it. I haven't had this much fun with a bow since I killed my first deer with a compound. Today is the first time i have ever shot a recurve alot...results were a stiff shoulder, sore fingers, 1 lost arrow, and alot of practice left to do.LOL I completely missed the block on the first shot but as the afternoon wore on my groups got considerably better. I was really pleased with my last few groups at about 17 yards. It is a Jefferies Archery Classic 60. 54 lbs at my draw length and a sweet shooter.

RE: New Recurve
If you can find one cheap in good condition, you might think about buying a 45# recurve to practice with. Your shoulder and your fingers would greatly appreciate it!! I live in Goose Creek in the Charleston Metro area. Where do you live?

RE: New Recurve
Thanks for the tip. After only 4 days of shooting I am already getting used to it. My shoulder is not sore anymore and my fingers don't hurt. I live about 10 miles from Florence. I'll see if I can post a pic later.

RE: New Recurve
My groups are getting better alot faster than I thought. Today I played around the yard with some judo points and had a blast. I believe that I will be accurate enough to hunt with this bow by the time season starts.
