I shot my Fred Bear recurve today. its a 1970 something. it was given to me by bud b and slim grim. i had a Matthews compound before but have always wanted a long or recurve  bow. i fell in love when i first laid eyes on it and again today when i shot it. looking forward to hunting with it and getting to know you guys.

welcome !

And grats on your new to you Fred bear bow.

Thanks buddy. slim grim came by today and we shot around in the yard. Im about to go back outside and practice some more. id love to kill a white tail with it possibly hog before then.

LOL same here .

hope your groupings are tight  

Just an update i was shooting at further distances this afternoon. i have now lost an arrow and destroyed 2 fetching is missing on one and the head is stuck into a root on another. i think Im getting better as far as accuracy goes.

Get a jump on things now and order another dozen arrows.

I have about 20 but no heads on them. I have one good one left.

My bush hog finds all the one that seem to skim just under the surface, that I seem to never be able to find.

So I started to use these for target, now I loose a lot less arrows.

adder points they work good for stumps also

I run mine flipped, so acts less like a broad head tip

I have done a little research last night and this morning and i like the judo points and the hammer small game blunt. i think ill give both those a try.

Tomatolane i tried out the things you suggested i like them thanks for the advice.

Cool Cool.

I love mine.

So far i like them better than judo points. i am very happy i tried them.

A kind and giving tradganger from Troy, NC was the gifter...we just facilitated the match.

Glad to hear from you Matt.

I'm off this weekend if you have some free time. Maybe Sat evening.

Bud i have school Saturday. Im willing and ready to come shoot but ill have to ok it with the boss.

Saturday after school that is.

She said ok. i think class ends at 5. Think there will be enough day light left?

Yep.

Email me directions to your house.
