New To Me

Well after a few months on a cheap low poundage recurve to learn on I decided it was time to find something more suitable to actually start hunting with.
Then this was listed on trademe

It was supposedly 40lb@28 but I thought it was worth a punt, figuring it would be fun to shoot if nothing else.
It arrived at my place soon after and now that it has had time to set into a new string we checked the draw weight 46lb@27.5 :)
I think I've ended up with a very cheap hunting bow, it looks to have been built in 1972 or 73. Nice, almost as old as me . . . .

i want to be there when you pin your first goat.

You must of scared them all away @Rushy I was checking all the roads and creeks for storm damage yesterday and only saw one the whole day.

We certainly got in amongst them but I reckon they must be hiding from you.

Hunting goats with a recurve is great back to basics hunting. Heart racing stuff.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing the success stories!

great fun but one day you will welcome the dark side of bow hunting and buy a 70lb compound

Nice score
