Hi all,
Well I decided to join not long after I purchased my new recurve bow.
Fred Bear Super Kodiak 50# at 28"
My draw is 26 3/4"
Bow likes 30" arrows, 600 spine with 100-125 grain tip.
The above information actually cost me quite a bit to figure out after bare shaft kits, test field tip kits, and bass pro hooking me up with 340 spine arrows (WAS NOT HAPPY)
I have killed my fair share of wild hogs and a few deer with my compound and my furthest shot was 22 yards (most under 15), so I decided to test my skill with a bow further. Let me tell you this is entirely different ball game. I have been shooting for 2 weeks every day (at least 100 arrows a day) and I am loving it. My groups at 15 yards range between 4" to arrows touching. I have actually wore a path in my grass from walking back and forth to my target to get arrows. Also it is apparent I am in need of a new target.
At this point I would not hesitate to take a deer 15 yards and under, but that magical 20 yards is starting to open up for me. Not so much my lateral line but horizontally. I am sure with time I will get it. So far it really has been enjoyable and I am looking forward to my new hobby. Any comments or advice please feel free.
