I’ve been using a compound for the past 5 years now, and I’m afraid of the thing.
Not as afraid as I am of my compound crossbow.. but still.
When I was a kid I had a wooden recurve. That’s what I’m looking for now. The Bear I have now I’m converting to recurve (The Warf conversion)
I just simply prefer them that way. I’ve given the fiberglass compound garbage a good shot. I’m through with it. But I really, really like the risers on the old 3 piece single limbs.
The compounds that are out today are also impossible to carry into the woods. I know why the hunters have their tree stands setup near the parking lot now. It’s just such a pain to carry this... like... harp through the woods.
