I started out with recurves in the 50's and started deer and hog hunting with them in the early 60's. Went to compounds in late 70's and just got back to recurves in 2010.

Bought a Quinn Stallion and killed a buck and doe with it this season on some public land that boarders my place in Southern Illinois (Shawnee National Forest).

I just ordered a new bow this month from Kirk at Big Foot Archery, a 45lb Sasquach recurve T/D at 64". Tried to use materials to get as much speed out of it as possible since I can't pull much weight anymore with all my heart problems and old age. Triple carbon with foam limb core, no veneers (carbon) footed zebrawood riser. Should be about May when completed.
