GOOD DEAL, good luck with the cast.  A compound will help with that as well.  Being able to adjust it from light to more poundage and teh letoff will help too.  I would probably recommend that path as thats what I did.  I had a compound and shot it for years before i took the final step to hunting with it.  Then went Trad.

I couldn't agree more with you guys.  I hunt with all three weapons (recurve, compund and rifle) and each has it's own time and place.  I just enjoy the hunt. :)

I'd hunt with hand grenades or patriot missiles if they had a fricken season!!!


BUT...if I had to choose...It'd be with the LB... Luckily..I dont HAVE to feed myself by hunting...cause I'd starve if I had to do it with the LB... Then again... maybe the seriousness of the situation would make me a better killer???

Bigger and better gadgets are good for industry, so why not for outdoor recreation?  It has not dawned on him that outdoor recreations are essentially primitive, atavistic; that their value is a contrast-value; that excessive mechanization destroys contrasts by moving the factory to the woods or to the marsh."
