    recurve

    I just aquired a Browning safari . it is a 49# 60" II. I was just wondering if I could get any kind of input as to quality and or value serial # 5c9XX
    The bow is true no twist and in show room quality. beautifull pice of art and bloody acurate once you learn to shoot instinctivly and have the arows tuned too. any input would be apreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Not sure if I will have the time to truly appreciate the art of traditional instinctive. Shooting so might be in to trading it for a compound. Not to sure yet but if I do the lads here will get first dibs on it.

    Try Bowzone.ca

    Might get some better bow knowledge there, or might sell quicker too.

    I guarantee you'll enjoy shooting instinctive. A few years ago I had a recurve, compound bow and crossbow. I sold the crossbow as it didn't really interest me. I love shooting compound but I can honestly say with a recurve I would practice twice as much. Not because I needed to but because I loved it so much.

    If the bow didn't cost you much (or anything at all) hang on to it and learn to play.

    Go find a good deal on a compound - but keep the recurve.

    Re: recurve

    dont get me wrong I can shoot it instinctivly but at 30 yards cant honestly say I can make the kill shot. so with out having that cumfort zone I wont release on an animal. unless I just shoot it for the apreciation of it. like I have been.

    if you talk to a lot of instinctive shooters theres alot that won't shoot past 20yrds. it's all about what your comfortable with
