In February I got a couple of recurves for my birthday...a Blacktail Legacy and a Hoyt Satori. Started out shooting the Satori w/ 35lb limbs to develop my form, the next month began shooting the BT w/ 45lb limbs. Love the bow so I shot it for six weeks before stepping up to 55lb limbs on the Hoyt. Had not shot a bow in like ten days until today and promptly shot this 25 yard group..
Feeling pretty good about myself I decided to step up to the 65lb limbs. Struggled to string it and then shot this healthy serving of humble pie.
I shoot 68lbs outta my Elite Energy but 65lbs with a stick bow is a whole different animal. Wore me out quickly too. But this is what I need if I'm gonna hunt Kaibab elk with what Aron aptly calls the "strugglestick." Man, trad sure has peaks and valleys eh? We gotta be just a tad masochistic to hunt with a stickbow don't we? I'm actually sore and need to soak for a spell. Maybe take some vitamin M. (((sigh)))
