Post by: BOWHUNTER45 on May 01, 2012, 05:33:51 PM: Yeah I like a compound to without sights ..but I still use my recurve time to time just because I done it that way as a kid ...I also like standing still in shallow water and waiting for them to pass by ...if they are spawning really well its a blast ... :tup:

Post by: sirfunkeybut on May 08, 2012, 04:35:56 AM: Always been compound for me, this year I will have both recurve and my compound. I never use sights either, to be honest I don't know how sights could help
