I shot my Fred Bear recurve today. its a 1970 something. it was given to me by bud b and slim grim. i had a Matthews compound before but have always wanted a long or recurve bow. i fell in love when i first laid eyes on it and again today when i shot it. looking forward to hunting with it and getting to know you guys.

Just an update i was shooting at further distances this afternoon. i have now lost an arrow and destroyed 2 fetching is missing on one and the head is stuck into a root on another. i think Im getting better as far as accuracy goes.

Get a jump on things now and order another dozen arrows.

I have about 20 but no heads on them. I have one good one left.

My bush hog finds all the one that seem to skim just under the surface, that I seem to never be able to find.

So I started to use these for target, now I loose a lot less arrows.

adder points they work good for stumps also

I run mine flipped, so acts less like a broad head tip

I have done a little research last night and this morning and i like the judo points and the hammer small game blunt. i think ill give both those a try.

Tomatolane i tried out the things you suggested i like them thanks for the advice.

TomatoLane · « **Reply #13 on:** February 16, 2014, 08:51:00 PM »

Cool Cool.

I love mine.

mightyox · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2014, 12:50:00 PM »

So far i like them better than judo points. i am very happy i tried them.

A kind and giving tradganger from Troy, NC was the gifter...we just facilitated the match.

Glad to hear from you Matt.
