In the deep South it is bad manners to say ugly things about a man's dawg, wife, sister, pickup and bow.
My knuckles don't drag the ground and St. Joe River bows suit me just fine.
My first bow kill was with a 52" Bear Kodiak Magnum. I couldn't shoot it then and likely still couldn't shot that short "%*&." I became very fond of 60" bows but as I aged they became a little less friendly length wise from a tree stand.
During the PBS Banquet in Nashville I shot several of the shorter recurves David and Tracey had with them. I ordered one on the spot and find it quite satisfactory for my needs.
You can talk ugly about that danged ugly, puny little hog, but don't say nothing about my bow.
