But there's nothing like drilling an animal with trad gear. It aint easy, that's the whole point. I won't even start hunting deer until about the 28th. That's when it gets good in MN. I did manage to drill a decent antelope buck in Wyoming a few weeks ago...so life is good. Antelope meat is good. Better than deer, no contest.

Gunner, I don't your physical type so I'll give you a quick thought. Decide traditional bow or hybrid. Start ~40lbs. You will probably find your draw shortening with a long bow or a recurve. Years ago when I shot long compounds with fingers, I drew at least 30.5" Now with a recurve or long bow I draw just over 29". Most bows nowadays are very smooth up to 28", then they start to "stack" as drawn farther. I cant my bows about 10 degrees and flex my legs slightly, thus when i get bow arm, head and draw arm in proper alignment, my draw is naturally shorter. You really need to test draw a few bows to see what your requirements are going to be. If you did still have a +30" draw with a long bow you would need a bow rated for longer draws and at around 37 to 40 lbs. @28". Hope you have good luck finding the proper setup for you.

I'm gettin' old and wussified. I kind of lean to lighter bows now than say 20-25 years ago. I started out many , many years ago with little mentoring. I was using muscle instead of proper form. Not enough muscle left for that technique now. My current long bow is 42lb.@28", at 29.5" it draws 45lb. At 30" it goes to just shy of 47lb. And at 30" seems to really begin to get some stack going. I'm all for shooting as much weight as you can handle properly. So, for a new guy, I would rather see an easier to handle weight to establish proper form and muscle conditioning. Then move up to the heavier weights. That works for me, for some just going for the higher weights works as well. Figuring it all out is all part of the fun for me. I'm going this week to test a new bowyer's traditional long bow. Bamboo, yellow wood limbs, purple heart handle back. 64"/50lb.@28". Again, good luck on your quest.

Ed LOL Dan, thank you for allowing me to litter up your thread, I dont care what hunters talk about in a thread I start, but some folks do, I'm just trying to learn proper CF etiquette. Cant wait on that deal Ed, and I appreciate it greatly, do you suggest shooting fingers? and are the [tabs?] universal fit or do I need to get fitted for one prior to shooting? Terry, does the stacking you speak of damage the limbs, I remember a very long time ago I pulled a friends longbow and the limb cracked, I didnt know the bows quality, or how he may have cared for it. He was coaching me on proper draw technique/length, he kept saying pull, pull more, so I slowly did then CRACK- KA POP!!!!!........that sucked, and class for that day was dismissed.

I've seen some older 'curves and long bows that cracked over the years, due to being overdrawn. I don't think it is near the problem now. Back when Fast Flight first came out I broke 2 bows in 6 months. The limb tips just would not take stiffer strings. Now almost all recurves and longbows are rated for the newer string materials. Most bowyers now will tell you their bows are good to around 32". With some bows the poundage is not the issue, it is that over 28" the finger pinch gets bad real fast.

There's the big $?$? If my little Samick 30lb. recurve is any indication, then the long bows may be a great value. Korean by the way. Dan Toelke makes some great bows, haven't owned, have shot. Dave at Hitmancustoms makes a beautiful deflex take down longbow. Figure ~$800.00 for a nice one. Omega bows are really getting a great reputation. Economical, well priced, and so far no bad reviews.

I agree for the money the Dwyers are a great bow. I would only say that to me they seem to stack a little more then a few others. BUT those others are fairly higher in price.

Keep at it George you will be fine. Keep your shots close at first and PICK A SPOT. Bagging the first is the hardest. Once you break the ice it's no big deal. Brush the misses off and stay at it. You will connect. I'll say it again PICK A SPOT.

If you start doing that it takes out all the fun of bow hunting, especially that of a traditional stand point. It's supposed to be up close and personal not some long range impersonal sniping. LOL Brinky, 30338 here on the fire sent me a very generous gift in the mail today, BRAND NEW FREE ARROWS , and they are the same kind I have ordered. I shot my bow a bit today before dark, 5 yards-perfect, 10 yards-perfect, 15 yards-shot high. So, just how do you men get low enough behind the arrow at full draw to aim at the target? Oh, and I do have DVD's permission to litter up his thread with questions. Gunner Trump Won!
