well I plan on getting a multiple season deer tag next year. I have been hunting muzzy for 2 years now I have decided that I do not wish to hunt mod deer in this state ever again been there done that. now I only hunt bear with a mod fire arm I take the muzzy yote hunting and to the range more then any other gun. This is put I divide betwen most of the guys I target shot with and all but one of my hunting buddys. the thing is I just have more fun running around the woods working game praying and hopeing to get the shot seeing them at 150 yards and not takeing the the shot with the muzzy waching and learning working for that moment that's just right. this is not something I everthought I would have thought I would say my dad and father in law cousies all focues on getting a deer not the hunt. so in short I'm looking to extend my time in the woods I have a mid 90's ted nugent compound bow that iv shot a few times I brought it up to cabelas had it looked at the draw is at 47 pounds. I was thinking of picking up a receurve bow any thought on that? also if any one has tips on equment or gear I would hear

Practice shooting whatever bow you decide on as much as possible. Can that "ten fingers of doom" bow be adjusted to higher weights? I would recommend getting the weight higher. If it is as high as you can comfortably pull then practice will strengthen the necessary muscles and allow you to gradually increase the draw weight. The higher the poundage the flatter the trajectory.
Beyond the bow itself, you can look into the things that attach to the bow. Good sight. Stabilizer. A quiet quiver. Arrow rest. Will you shoot with your fingers or a release? Will you use an arm guard?
All the other stuff is secondary to getting your bow set up the way you will hunt with it and getting out as often as possible to practice shoot. Getting familiar with the bow and the sight pins is huge.
