Took my recurve out bush for the first time yesterday. Didn't really think I'd put a stalk on anything but just felt like carrying it anyway. Was mainly just doing a fitness hike as I'm walking the Kokoda Track later this year and need to keep grinding away.

A few pics...







I saw a white wallaroo, which is pretty rare.


Form with my bow is coming along nicely. A long way to go yet before I feel totally confident but I'm just taking it all as it comes and enjoying the whole journey.

The pictures of the countryside are great! I also liked the pics of your bow collection. Yep, you are on the way to full-fledged bow addiction, so welcome to the club. Before long you will have back up bows for your back up bows, which, in my opinion, is a good thing. It sounds like your progress is going well.

Cheers, mate.

I gave my 55# PSE to a friend of mine to help get him back into trad archery - he had a recurve years ago but sold it. As it stands now I have my 35# Ragim (with spare 50# limbs) and my 54# Black Widow (wth spare 65# limbs), as well as my Hoyt Defiant compound at around 60# and my (broken) MAthews Nocam HTR.

Seriously considering getting a bloke over here (Yarrum Bows) to make me a custom recurve in the 45# range for easier practice and range time, with the possibility of using it to shoot a few goats and deer as well.

Really enjoyed the new 'WilderLife' video mate.  Keep at it . . . Trad Bow Life is a long, but fulfilling journey.  Plenty of Perfect Practice is a Prerequisite to Success.

That's true, mate. I don't practice excessively at all but I try to make improvements every time I practice. I've also got a 45# bow waiting for me to pick up from the post office tomorrow so I'll be able to practice with that a little longer before getting fatigued. All great fun.
