Title: first time shooter
Post by: mightyox on February 09, 2014, 02:09:00 PM

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.

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 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.
