I've hunted at the lease two weekends with my Hoyt. Two sits with my recurve mixed in. One evening and one morning set at my ranch with my recurve. A week in Missouri with my Hoyt with no shot at a legal buck presented. So far a doe and a pig have fallen to the Hoyt. Tonight I leave to my ranch and will only take the recurve. We have a work weekend planned but I will get at least a couple days of traditional hunts in. Time to get my first traditional kill. Tuesday I will head to my lease for about a week. I need to get things in the freezer so I can get to killing ducks. I will take the Hoyt, but will concentrate on using my recurve until I fulfill my goal. No more worrying about boy scout outings, no more doctor visits, no more "gotta get it done by the weekend dock work". Just time to get serious about what I love to do and do it in a manner that challenges me more than any I have tried so far.:

Good luck, I know what you mean about being surprised when the compound doesn't hit "THE SPOT" . It takes time and patience but the recurve will work for you. Keep at it. Even my little spike with the new longbow last week felt like a titan to me. LOL. Clear your mind and let the arrow slip away. :-)

Good luck and enjoy the week off. I had a full week off and it was productive.

Well, except for the ones that don't end up in freezers.[emoji54]
