Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Need help with a recurve

I shot my 55# SA2 in 3D and won local and semi local shoots...........and not everybody that shot sucked LOL
Shot it indoors too, but considered that hunting practice.
Did OK, just too much # to play that game.
Still scored higher than most running lesser poundage.

But injuries took me out of that game.
Took me almost out of bowhunting.

Am back, but don't shoot as much. Used to shoot all the time, hours on end.
Not anymore.

IMHO 55# is where one has to put more work into staying sharp.
50# is a nice compromise.
45# would be for me, my target bow that I take hunting..........and it better be zippy.

Personally I think Widows draw a little heavier at the start, but don't stack (like near the end).
I'd like to try some Uuhka on an ILF, guess w the "curve" they actually feel lighter the last couple inches.

Bud says the bamboo core on his PCH makes it faster/smoother.
His is 42# and I think I can p*ss harder than it shoots.

Too light for me.

My old B50 HF1225 at 48# was a decent rig for 3D and hunting, but I like the grip of the HS way better.

Do like a heavier mass weight recurve, why I run a bow quiver too.
