I shot a 55 lb recurve bow recreationally for a few years, until it broke when I was restringing it one time. It was a lot of fun.

I liked a recurve bow only sized right.
Back in the day everyone went for the short compact bows.
Curious what a recurve would be like with a release

I don't know. My release was my fingers.

so have I
I shot a compound bow for the first time with a release and was stunned on the grouping which was more from the release than me.

I am sitting in the woods right now.
Found one of them snazzy see through blinds the other day for 50% off.
First sit in it. Really like it so far.

Hoping for a nice young doe this evening, but if the feller that made this comes along, I won’t be too terribly upset. Took this picture from the blind, just now.

I did see this guy on my walk in.
Kind of surprising, considering I have on two layers of long underwear, and a jacket. It’s pretty nippy out for snakes to be moving.

Edit: The bow is 42@28.

I shot a long bow longer than any other, but then I went to a Bear recurve. Shot that for many years, then bought a Bear Whitetail hunter. Sweet bow, but too long for the tree stands I shot from. Got the whitetail magnum. Shorter and just as accurate.
Never shot with a release in my life. I like the finger method.

Can you turn it around?

He could always send it to one of his electrical brothers in Australia. Maybe they could do a swap?

They don't make them anymore. You will have to use it upside down. Might look funny but it will work.

Yeah, you can just paint the back of it white

Thats why the short bows were popular
Reality your lucky to get one shot off.
I like shooting target when I can so length and poundage are not a great concern
