I am anticipating a moose hunt and my state requires at least 50 lb draw. I recently sold a 50 lb recurve and while it was a beauty, I could not shoot it any better than my current three piece hybrid, so someone offered me good price for it( I had not even listed it) so I let it go.
I have been having trouble with my bow shoulder and doubted I could go much higher. I had gotten a cortizone shot once a year or so for the last five years and it would be better for awhile and then the pain would return. So I went to see a physical therapist who gave me a regimen of exercises and I gradually strengthened the muscles around my shoulder to the point where I havnt needed another cortizone shot for two years now.
So regarding the potential moose hunt, my problem was my current number one bow is 49 lbs. Then I saw people writing about how smooth their Northern Mist Shelton shot. I called and talked to Steve Turay at Northern Mist and about it.
He said he had a 55 lb bow that would be a good candidate, a 68” Shelton. After talking to Steve a few times and weighing the pros and cons I decided to take it. I was concerned that I might be over bowing myself but decided I would try to work up to it, as I did not want to shoot the absolute minimum weight bow.
I received it a few days ago. What a pleasureable bow to draw and shoot. I think we will get along just fine!
Here it is.
