Show off

 

some have, some dont, imma way over on the dont side...

 

Me too buddy.. me too.

 

New guy showed up.

 

Looks like God wearing a camo hat watching over @buckhuntin-tacoma 's deer.

 

Don’t tell @rtkbowhunter but that’s really my reflection on my computer screen.

 

Hey, all.
I used to shoot a friend's old recurve bow as a kid, 40# pull, ambidextrous.
What would be a good option for something like that, but a bit more robust, a ~60# pull, ambidextrous, recurve.

 

The pretty much any recurve in that weight range is going to be rh or lh, typically not ambidextrous. One to look at is Samick Recurves. You can by a riser and different weight limbs for a couple of hundred dollars. And Samick makes a really nice recurve for the money. Lancaster Archery would be my first choice to order from.

Just a side note. A 60lb recurve is nothing like a 60lb compound. If you are over bowed you will pick up bad habits like not coming to full draw or anchoring properly, snap shooting (the bad kind, think target panic). Best to start out in th ~40lb range. Nice thing about take downs like the Samick, is you can easily swap limbs for heavier or lighter draw weight. Remember also, a recurve or longbow, draw weight is measured at 28" draw length. Weight will continue to increase ~2lbs/inch of draw past 28". Some increase smoothly, others stack incredibly quick.

 

Perfect summer evening…’bout 80 degrees, light breeze. The smell of fresh cut grass…and yeah, flinging arrows.

 

Bought a new bow, and I'm trying to offload this if anyone is interested:

PSE EVO NTN 33, 80LB. Bought by me in July 2021 and there are a couple of "blemishes," one of which is from sight bracket that will most likely be covered up by another sight bracket.
Looking for $750 shipped. But it is OBO, so make an offer if you're interested!

 

I have officially moved my bow from the house to the shop in the chance that I get a hankerin to shoot it.

 

Anybody draw any good CA tags? Not an archery specific tag but I drew x9a. Anyone have intel/ experience on the unit?

 

Finally got out today. Tried my new release from @Wyckedan… only sent one arrow to Kingdom Come…

 

Well boys and girls I think after the irresponsible amount of money I’ve invested over the last few weeks, I’m officially ready for season. Even got the truck hooked up with a 52gal tank for those long hauls

 

This new spot just might work out…

 

72 hours and I’ll be in the truck headed to Colorado!
