I agree with Steve. You probably just saved yourself years of frustration that many of us have experienced by learning how to do it right from someone who knows, before you make problems for yourself.
I was originally self taught, since I did not know anyone who hunted with a recurve when I first started. I did O.K. but I missed some VERY big bucks back in those days. Shots that I wish I could have all over again now. After years and years of this, I got help from Rick Welch and things have been great ever since!
