I haven't hunted them with a recurve but have taken a few at less than 20 yards out of a ground blind on water holes. That should work well with traditional gear.

I haven't killed one w/a recurve either, but made a lucky stalk & shot one w/a longbow a few yrs ago.

I take my hat off to you, Sir! Very impressive, stalking within longbow range of a pronghorn. Well done!!

Now THAT, gentlemen, is what I call HUNTING.

Hunted antelope last year with my recurve, had a nice buckwalk by me about 50yards, I need one within half that distance with my recurve, before I nock an arrow... Alot of fun to hunt and very challenging I might add... I shoot a long bow now and will be chasing after them desert goats(antelope) this coming season also...

arrowsmit... Do the words "I'd rather be lucky than good" ring a bell. [8D]

You deserve a slap on the back, handshake and a few 'atta boys' fer that'n.
