A quick intro for myself on this portion of GBO. I have been shooting compounds now for around seven years pretty much on a daily basis. I shot traditional back in high school but that was with the schools equipment, not the greatest but enough to get me hooked on archery. Slightly over ten years later I have become pretty good participating in bowhunting, 3 spot, indoor 3-d and just shooting in the yard (40 yard range set up). Even got my wife into it.
A couple of years back I wanted to get into a recureve nothing to fancy just beginer/economy setup. I choose the PSE Impala I think it was called. To be honest it never met my expectations. The limbs twisted and went south not sure why. I use a stringer, kept it out of the elements and so forth.
Well yesterday I was looking some "entry level" recurves and test drove a few. I ended up with the Martin Jaguar recurve 50 pounder. I tried the 40 and 50 both shoot nice for me. I have around a dozen 2117 legacys I cut around 29". I think they should work decent with some 150's on the ends due to the fact 2117 are slightly heavy and stiff. Now to see if I have some feathers around I can flecth up and get to shooting it.
