My pal Ken Rohloff made a sweet '50's style recurve at my request. I've been walking around stumping with this bow for the last couple of weeks, and I feel like I'm cheating on a my faithful Hill bows !! But this little recurve is amazing, it needs my attention. It's 54 pounds at 28" and I get a few more with my long draw.
It really likes 31" CE 350's with 225 or so up front.. Makes a finished arrow that weighs over 600 and this bow makes 'em sing.
I went to the edge of the woods to go for a walk. After I had gone 1/4 mile the deer flies and the lack of pig sign got the best of me and I turned around. When I got back to the truck I drove to the edge of a cotton field and got out to go for a stroll.. I was walking down a crowned up dirt road between two cotton fields.
With not much hope of seeing any critters I was flinging a blunt at a weed or stick or whatever else I happened to see. After a bit I saw a jack about 150 yards down the road. Hmm, I quit shooting and kept walking towards him. Just about the time I was going to take a shot he took off but only ran another 30 or 40 yards and stopped.. So I kept walking. I got within what looked like a possible and I aimed, drew the bow, and fired away. I was concentrating on the rabbit and the arrow arched out of my sight and I then saw it dropping towards the unfortunate bunny. I don't know who was more surprised when it pinwheeled his noggin.. I counted 54 long steps to him. Hey, I only report this stuff, lol..
