That's a smooth pulling bow Jeff.  I think you won't have any problems with it.  Mine is 63# and it's really starting to grow on me. Not quite as forgiving as a longbow but darn close.  Watching those arrows blaze outta those PSR's is addicting!

Congrats on the bow Jeff, and give you enough time to heal properly first!

Good luck with it,

What year was it made, Jeff? That handle still has me thrown, but maybe it's just the angle of the photograph. I hope you're on the mend, and easing into the shooting of it! Cheers, Ben

Righto. That makes it one of the last examples of the SAG (Short Autumn Grey) model, which ended by the start of 2004. The PSR (Precision Short Recurve) model was introduced in 2005. They look pretty similar, but there are slight differences. Whichever, it'll still be death on those fallow and goats!
