Lighter bows

[GILBERT]

Gil,
You would come into my shop and tell me all this and then I would have disagreed with you. But since the shop has closed and I have been trying my hand at shooting a recurve, I find that I don't have to shoot 65+ pounds like my father does. I feel more comfortable shooting between 45 & 50 pounds and I get more enjoyment because I am able to be more accurate with the lower weight.

Well!, i am glad to see that you have some common sense developing at an early age. Your father Josh. like Mike Murphy...both great friends of those good ole days, and like me did not use what ever little common sense that we had at our disposal back then. We were young and strong, and made of stainless steel, and because WE COULD WE SHOT heavy poundages. I do not regret that, just cannot do that anymore.

Stay with those lighter lbs. You will be more accurate , enjoy it more, and reach old age in much better shape.

There are too many draw backs to heavy poundage that you cannot manage properly....the worst???...Target Panic. YES!, even shooting insinctive.

What did i use to call you......HARD HEAD!!!!

great hearing from you.
