Shot placement, proper arrow weight and tuning have more to do with performance on deer than anything in my opinion. For weight, the maximum you can shoot accurately and bring to full draw on the first shot of the day when all bundled up in your hunting clothes and freezing cold would be the max weight I’d say.

They are things of beauty. I had a laugh on a different forum recently about this, in that I'm a much better shot with my recurves, but I feel like I look much cooler when walking around the bush with an ASL.  :biglaugh:

Not me. I’m opposite.  Not good enough for the recurve and shoot these better.

One thing i think is due to the deep thick long working limbs there is a draw weight that is too low and starts to be not efficient. I’m not sure what that level is but one bowyer has told me around 40 pounds maybe close to the break even level.

Best draw weight?  Fine tuned arrow out of a bow you shoot most accurately!  Broadhead razor sharp.  That is what matters.

Almost there.  Sadly, I don’t have any harvest pictures to post yet this year. It was all quiet in the woods yesterday.  Of course today, there are a bunch of squirrels running in front of my target.  Gotta love Pennsylvania’s blue laws…

Yes this ASL is hitting pretty hard, hardly look at my other bows anymore.I have lots of longbows and to many recurves to count, but I,m sure I need another ASL , thinking of a Hill Tembo ,exept with three lams of Yew instead of bamboo, with a all yew handle ,slight string follow with clear glass, making it look like a self bow .Yea I think so lol.
