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.

I thought I was the only one who still prefers a recurve over compound. And yes, wood is where it’s at.

Pound for pound, the Bear Grizzly is the best bow ever made.

I live to bow hunt, but I only get out about 4 times a season. I practice all year with my grizzly just slinging arrows instinctively. By bow season, I pick up the compound and I become Robin Hood. I literally can't miss.

I keep saying I'm going to take the recurve hunting, but I can't take a 40 yard shot with confidence.
