I would have to say my greatest satisfaction comes from remembering three yrs ago up in a tree and not being able to break over my 50# compound in order to shoot a doe about 4 steps from my tree. Then missing a really nice 10pt at about 18 steps with same bow, because I couldn't get my peep sight adjusted to my eye.
To 3yrs later being blessed with the memories of shooting over at least 10 does all under 18 steps or so my first yr back with a recurve and the next two years killing these two bucks. One with a about 45# recurve and the other with about 50# recurve.
But the most satisfaction comes by the Grace of God to have been able to do it after being 65yrs old and having two open-heart by-pass surgeries, 4 angioplasties, major back surgery and 6 stents in my heart. I really didn't know if I would have the strength needed for recurves or not..and it was borderline for a good while.
