Hey ya'll just got a Bear Grizzly (45# @ 58"), I learned how to shoot with a recurve but as soon as I got my first compound the recurve got put aside. I never had the newest compound in fact I believe my current compound is from the early 90s, I got this recurve last week and since then have had the fever. I hope to learn alot about traditional hunting here, very excited to take it into the woods.
