Had some ups and downs this year with the recurve, but in the end I am pretty satisfied with the results of my first spring/fall using it. Looking forward to next year very much, haven't had this much fun bowhunting in awhile....or the level of disgust
New here. This is a 238-lb boar I killed in central Texas with my 73#@28 Weathers recurve, shooting 680-grain carbon with a Tuffhead single-blade broadhead. Quartering-away shot from 15 yards; boar went 100 yards, trailing heavy blood with quick recovery.
Michigan fall bear. 9 years for the tag and took it down to the second to last day of the season. 60" 53# Widow SA shooting Gold tip trad blems with woodsman heads. Arrows come in at 590 grains loaded pretty heavy up front. First bear and first post on here. Lots of good info on this site that I'm hoping to put to use this fall out west. Congrats to all the trade bow shooters that have put the time in to master the hard way. Its definitely not a skill you can dust off a couple days before season as you all know. It's a lot of shooting to be proficient let alone good with a stick bow but a skill that I really enjoy working at.
You know its bad (small) when you show off the bow and not the ram... But my then girlfriend-now wife bought me the bow. ,, I had to appear appreciative.
