We had a recurve at our archery camp one year in Oregon and I think I shot it 100 times and hit the target once! :( granted we were trying from 60 yards and out to make it interesting but still I think at 25 yrds I was only like 50% at even hitting the target, man that's a hard way to get an animal!!! Congrats.

Post by: Guy on December 01, 2007, 08:00:33 AM: Congratulations there Hoyt Shooter!

I still have the two recurve Hoyt bows I got back in the 1970's. The hunting bow is a 62" 53# takedown hunter. The target bow is a 66" 34# Pro-Medalist. Both were very good bows in their day. My right shoulder is a mess right now and I can't pull the hunting bow anymore. Working on the target bow though - might be able to handle it soon.

I'd love to get afield again with my recurve hunting bow - great memories from years past. Congratulations on your elk!

Regards, Guy
