Default Got me a 'curve and I like it......

Preliminary testing of my new to me 'curve has been very exciting... I seem to be shooting a little better with it than my longbow....... It's a tad too heavy and will take a couple weeks to adjust.... I'm not sure if it's the cleaner release that is improving my shooting or the grip.... I really don't like the High, to medium wrist hold that it has, but I'm sure I will get used to it...... In about a month I plan to shoot 300 round with both bows and then decide which one has to go...... I can't afford to keep both......

On a side note....... Someone please try to convince me why I don't need to shoot wood...... My legacy's shoot better, but I can't get over my fascination with my Ramin shafts.... Help me out here [8D]

Good plan, waiting a month to decide which shoots better for you. It gives that 'new bow good luck' sometime to wear off. [8D]

I'm not going to even try to convince you not to shoot wood. They are like tools. Use the proper tool for the job. If the aluminums shoot better, then use them for racking up points on the scorecard. If you're just shooting for enjoyment and you get more satisfaction from shooting your ramins, then shoot the woods.

Congrats on the new bow. Now spill the beans on the details.
