    Recurve bow choice

    The X after the 45 means it was built as a 45 pound bow but came out a bit heavier. Make sure you do not use a fast flight string as it could damage the tips. Dacron is the safest with those older bows. Needs a little stretch to protect the limb tips.

    Recurve bow choice

    Kind as in brand or spine? Brand can be anything, lots of good arrows. If your into carbon I always liked Easton Axis as a dependable but affordable shaft. @Wrench is correct about spine, no way to know until we know the bow and weight you decide on. Trad bows are much more unforgiving of...

    Recurve bow choice

    I know why and I understand it. I have several limbs that are 30 plus year old from and Old Bear A and B handle that would plug and play on that riser. So I get it that they kept the same fitting.

    Recurve bow choice

    That bear is not ILF. It uses a proprietary attachment system.

    Recurve bow choice

    I always reccomend ILF bows for beginners. Research ILF set ups, but in short, the riser and limbs are interchangeable between manufacturers. This means you can buy a cheap set of light weight limbs to start and then upgrade to more expensive heavier limbs if you decide you like the sport...

    Arrow identification

    Not sure about the cresting. I'm not much of a Bear expert. You may ask that question on the Leatherwall. Guys over there will know the answer.

    Arrow identification

    You would need to find an arrow spine tester or build one yourself. I built one years ago with a digital Guage. You should be able to find some designs on line. 3rivers likely sells testers as well. Probably hard to find at modern archery shops but can't hurt to call yours and see if they...

    Bowhunting the west, can you be successful doing it or is it just a idea?

    There is no free lunch or guaranteed success. Might be better to stay home and hunt whitetail. Something tells me you may be disappointed with Western hunting.

    Bowhunting the west, can you be successful doing it or is it just a idea?

    One other thought, some of my most memorable hunts I was not successful. Yet the experience, lessons learned, being humbled, all added to an experience that made those hunts some of my most remembered. If the need to be successful, and post it on instagram is your driving motivator then coming...

    Bowhunting the west, can you be successful doing it or is it just a idea?

    That's a pretty broad question. If you are asking is it possible, of course it is. But there are so many variables to give you a definitive yes or no. But there is always possibility if you are in the field.

    Single Sight Pin

    This is the way.... glad it helped. You are basically describing a type of aiming called Gap shooting. I reccomend watching some of the origional Push Archery videos. I believe Matt talks about different aiming methods. Also a movie series called Masters of the Barebow goes into many...

    guidance on recurve draw weight

    In my post above, I should have said lose/gain 2-3 pounds PER INCH.

    guidance on recurve draw weight

    Possibly pulling less than 40 because of draw length. Poundage is measured at 28" on recurves, and will typically lose/gain 2-3 pounds for draw lengths shorter or longer than that. Also, if you are just starting I bet you are pulling a full inch or two less than your compound drawlength. That's...

    Single Sight Pin

    Typically your largest gap ( the distance your arrow tip is below the target) will be half of your point on distance. Mine is 40 PO and 20 largest gap. So if you can find your largest gap, and have some good method for aiming at that distance, you can just make small incremental increases in...
