"Adventure" is right! Very cool. Will be following along, Shiloh!
First thing I realized, getting a 70-lb recurve, was to get a better glove so that my fingertips are not numb all the time. Dura-Glove seems to be working. If you like a tab, Rick Barbee gets great reviews on his Death Adders.

I only shot them a couple times the other night to see how well my back could handle it, and they shot pretty good. I have a long ways to go with tuning, but was impressed with how the bow shot.

This is something I've thought about a bunch. I have to feel the string, so there is a fine line I think I'll be walking down trying to find the comfortable "feel" and still having enough padding there so my fingers aren't hurting all the time from shooting. I've built the last 3 or so gloves that I have shot the last 7 or 8 years just because there isn't any on the market I have found to like that would last me very long, so I may end up having to make one just for this setup.

It was too stiff for the 84# bow
I started cutting it off a 1" at a time putting a weight tube in behind it to hold it forward until it bare shafted like I wanted.
As I recall it was a 29" 350 with 19" of beman inside
Heritage 350's were what I'd planned on giving a whirl. I'd really like to try some of Mick's widowmaker shafts if I could get ahold of them.

Not sure it's the best idea, but I started adding lots of pull-ups to my workout routine and after a month my bows have been feeling a little lighter in the draw. Depending on when you add in crunches it can become a full upper body workout. Hope the tuning goes quickly and you are ready soon.
