Thanks for the reply everyone much appreciated. i use to shoot 60lb compounds and had surgery on both my elbows and after 8 months i ended up selling my bow. I’ve always been interested in traditional but never got into it. Here on craigslist a local has a Dan Pearson 58″ 50lb at 28″ recurve for a 100. Is this a bow i should look into or steer away from. Thanks in advance Mark.
