    short recurves?

    To simplify, let's say a bow gains 2 pounds for every inch it's drawn. At 28 inches it's 50#. At 27" it would be 48#, 26"-46#,...29"-52#. Then from 29 to 30 inches it jumps 4#. That's stack. There are a lot of genius/physicists that can explain it better. There's a guy, Blackie ?, that tests...

    ANOTHER, efin' new guy

    Thanks for the welcome Brothers, I'm probably not the best teacher, but I can certainly express my opinions on Trad archery. As far as opinions go, I'm really not a wolf hater. Like everybody I know, I think that wolves, the animals themselves, are kinda cool. I do hate just about everything...

    ANOTHER, efin' new guy

    I used to cowboy for a rancher in the Little Belts back in the mid/late '70s and there was this pretty little stream that flowed into the Smith where I killed my first bear, Tenderfoot Creek. Do most of my hunting with a recurve, sometimes a longbow, (I would kill a wolf with anything...
