      Great hats indeed. I ordered four of them when I renewed so I could give some to my friends and was more than suprised at the quality. Heck, I’m wearing one right now.

        Don’t get hung up on what a particular bow costs; either high OR low. Just because a bow is “expensive” doesn’t mean that it is not worth the price asked. Every bow offers uniques characteristics that may or may not be what any particular shooter is lookin for. In particular, Black Widow bows have been around since the 50’s I believe and so there is a piece of history there. I have several top quality bows from Mark Horne and I just ordered a BW PSAX; not because I can’t harvest game with my other bows, but because I have considered the BW takedown to be the pinultimate bow since I started shooting traditional bows in 1993. At that time I couldn’t afford one but now I can so I am buying my “dream bow” and it is well worth the price to me.

        So, really the price; high or low, should be of secondary consideration. Shoot what feels right, not only in your hands, but also in your heart. After all, as we all know, shooting traditional archery is a passion, not a sport.

          Way cool!!! But I reiterate a previous question. Whereabouts are you located? How long did your camp last? Also, who made your recurve?

            Cody,

            Typically if the arrow hits left of target it is due to a spine that is too stiff. Although fistmele (brace height) can effect that as well. In your case since it missed so far left, my guess is the culprit is spine. I shoot a 52 pound longbow and use 60-65 spine arrows with 145 – 160 grain points. Also, if shooting wood, make sure the shafts are straight. A significantly bowed shaft can cause irratic flight.
