I feel like the luckiest guy right now.
My brother in law introduced me to archery a couple of years after I arrived here from NZ.
Tried a few compounds, liked the feel of the Switchback, went to Texas, hogs, turkeys, all the usual stuff.
Did a couple of 3D shoots, sort of sniggered at the old guys shooting trad, seemed hit or miss, thinking about the great leaps and bounds of modern bow building. Why the hell would a man shoot a stick and string…
Found sites like this, read and read, got myself a 45lb Grizzly, loved it.
But now I think I have all a man needs, Staler stickbow recurve, 51@28″ and as of today a Brooks bow 44@28 long bow.
Just before dark I was able to get60 or so arrows down the back yard, both bows, Stalker really drives the message home, longbow, very accurate, a joy to shoot, would also get the job done,perhaps not a pass thru shot. Life is good, 3D shoot on Sunday out at Lake Henshaw,CA.
I wonder how much I’ll get for my seldom used DXT…….
