I did not start out using a recurve, but I have used one, and at times killed a few deer. It's a lot harder than using a compound. Waiting for the right opportunity requires a lot more patience.I started out using a recurve,, I bet a lot of guys don't know what a recurve is? lol, but it's a whole different ballgame. Ever sliced up your forearm? It hurts.

My first compound was a Jennings Woody-a hand-me-down bow from my Father.

The laquer on the hardwood riser was so shiny that we had to make a fabric cover to keep it from spooking the deer. It had a Kwikee Kwiver on it that was full of Eastin 2117's, tipped with Satellite Aero broadheads.
Heck, it even had one of those flipper rests on it that adhered to the riser. I remember cutting a finger tab from some old leather Dad had lying around.
I sure wish that I still had that bow.
Never sliced, but definitely badly bruised on several occasions. And let's not forget the blood blisters on the fingers, even through a glove.
