so my wife tells me, hey i think i want to shoot one of your trad bows you built. well, no time to waste, kids are in bed, lets do this! we go down, i give a few pointers and she glares at me. "i've been listening to you for years about form and how to shoot, let me do it." lol. ok. she was a compound shooter(with glove) but hasn't shot in over 2 years. i'm impressed. we were 10 paces from the target and she managed to keep the arrows rather close on each end. she is really liking the looks of the binghams recurve(alternative riser) so i may just get to build one soon. this bow is a hill style 43@28, she draws to 24". materials supplied by kennym.

Humans never cease to amaze me with the variety of natural talents that many of us possess. You are lucky to have a spouse to share a hobby with.

Your shooting buddies are going to be saying, What did you have to bring her with for?
Some people are just naturals!

I have been bow hunting and canoe tripping with the same woman for over forty years. When she was a South Dakota farm girl, the last thing she ever thought that she would ever do is box bear in the nose that wanted our food or drag a deer she killed across a river in the dark, but she would not have any other way. Take your wife hunting with you.

What i want to know is how many holes you have in your garage door behind that target.

I don't see any holes in the door. The fastest recurve that I ever saw was Bingham kit bow. The fellow just thought he would like to try trad archery and to save money bought a Bingham blank. It shot nice and it was much faster than my Bear takedown. You got work to do.
