I like mine, but I agree with what a lot of others have already posted. If you're going to get something, put some thought into it and make sure it's meaningful to YOU.
The best advice is to find someone that can walk you through everything, but since your posting here I’m sure that’s not the case. I think most people shoot recurves better than they shoot longbows. That being said, different bows fit different people and if you don’t have access to several...
I don't follow Joe Rogan, and have only listened to one or two of his podcasts. It's up to him if he wants to smoke weed, and I personally don't think that in particular hurts hunting. I'm glad someone...main stream... if that's what you want to call it, is hunting and talking about hunting in...
Fred Bear was alive and still in charge of Bear Archery when they released their first compound bow to market and he in fact did not like or hunt with it. Granted, compound bows then and compound bows now are two completely different animals but I do not believe Fred Bear would have used one...

About 12 years ago my wife and I and a buddy and his wife backpacked in for an overnighter to a place we hunt. We spent an uneventful couple of days nd hiked out. This was early August as I recall. A couple months later my buddy found what was left of a camp about 150 yards from where we were...
