Pudler ,
Your a special kind of guy aren't ya. No problem in being sporty , but don't compare yourself to Aldo.
And don't be saying that you can pull , hold and shoot a 70lb recurve.
Or if you so desire post a picture of your Howard bows limb stamp showing 70lb.
I am waiting.
Actually, I have a collection of Howatt Hunters, four to be exact. My original was a gift from my mother-in-law when I graduated med school in 1982. It's the one that draws 70#. I've accumulated the others over the years, a 60#, 65# and one marked 75# but measures 80#. I only hunt with the 70# one. You're right, it's getting harder each year, and I can't hold it like guys who shoot compounds with 65% let off. But then I'm getting older now, at 63. My goal is to be able to hunt with my 70# recurve when I'm 70 years old. Want to bet against me?
