A co-worker (Sharkey1) has been talking to me for several years about converting from a wheeled bow to a trad bow. I took his advise and started shooting a recurve late last year. I have not taken an animal with it yet but love shooting it and man am I hooked. This is the first year I started hunting with my recurve. Sharkey1 has not hunted in a few years due to a his job and hours but started back up and this is a pic of him walking to his stand. He dooes not know I took the pic or that I have posted it. LOL
This is a pic of my Bigriver recurve and the back ground is one of the farms we hunt.
