Recurve hunting

[konrad]

I shoot a 52# recurve for deer, 58# for Alaska hunting.I'd say shoot whatever distance you can put him down with one shot.After all, you don't want trad shooters to put on a show like the compounders did recently in Concrete.

What happened in Concrete? I'm almost afraid to ask.

Konrad, this thread is all about what happened in Concrete. It is a long read and a few links in there with pictures. It was on the news as well. Not good for the hunting community.

Check this link out... http://didia.smugmug.com/Pacific-Northwest/n-cascades/elk/10769726_xXySN#751637373_tgmoC

Thanks for the link. Sad...so sad for the elk and for the hunting community.
You have to wonder if anyone there had ever heard of the term "Fair Chase" or of "Shooting Fish in a Barrel"?
Hell is a crowded place full of greedy people.

Thanks ya'll! I got some tips yesterday from my brother in law(His grandpa shot the world record buck with a recurve bow, held it for a long time but recently a bigger one was taken i'm pretty sure) and he was raised with em and now i have a bottle bottle as my target at 20yds and i'm easily hitting it or just to the side. Made a 100yd shot into a tree this morning too, not exactly where i wanted to hit it(Bit high) but still. This little bow may replace my compound(I'm more accurate with my recurve!)
