Something just has to go wrong, hasn't it?
Well after onlyshooting my new bow for a week or so I couldn't even begin to tell you how many arrows Ive put through her and after much research I think Ive got it tuned really pretty well. Arrow flight seems really well, Ive shot it out to 35 yards and arrow flight seems really true. Shooting it came to me pretty instinctively and cant believe how well Ive adapted to it from only shooting a compound, now I cant say that I can drive tacks with it but I just can't get enough of it. I cant wait to take it hunting, feel like Ive got tons of confidence in it but I dont want to get it out to soon you know and end up wounding an animal. Our antlerless season ends at the end of january and plan on trying to take a doe or two and planned on using my compound but how unreasonable do you guys think it would be to take the recurve out?
Here it is I absolutley love it
and here is one of the groups I shot today at 22 yards

Confidense is everything. If you feel confident, go for it. Everybody has thier comfort level.
Mine is I need to be roving around my yard, at 12 differnt angles, and distances and get 11/12 arrows in a kill zone of a deer.
My advise is go on a 3d course, and shoot a round from less than 20 yards, don't use a range finder, and find out how you feel afterwards. Don't forget your close up shots.
If you hunting out of a stand, do that also.

I agree with bc, go out a start roaming around, shooting from unknown distances, shooting from stands and every scenario you can think of, then you know if your ready or not. I think only you will know if your ready. Good Luck!

What's the brand name of your bow? Nice looking take down recurve!

Thats a better group than most trad hunters can shoot to be honest .... but they also KNOW how to kill animals and take the shots they can make ... and 10 yards is much preferred to 22 yards and beyond IMO
Go hunting ...... you can have a 70 yard tack driving compound and wound/miss animals you know

Im looking forward to it, I love being on the ground up close and personal I don't know of anything more exciting. The sad thing is in all my other experiences I was "buck" hunting so I never took a shot at any of the does and feel this very well could bring me back to the basics of deer hunting.
Thanks it's a reflex nomad, I probably overpaid for my first bow and was after the looks as well but I couldnt be happier with it. Im definately gona go with a more traditional recurve or longbow for my next set up though, even if it is a ways down the road.
