The pics of the deer target are of my groups at 20 and 25 yds.I will say that this sure has made shooting for me fun again that it is very addicting where I dont want to miss a day of shooting. Thanks again Milo for steering me in the right direction and I hope to be ready come season.

Thanks guys and Brock I have had a great time with it and have learned that keeping my form and anchor the same everytime makes a world of difference but I still get stupid every now and then and throw a few off 8 or 10 inches.Lol. Have also shot some Magnus Stinger 4 blades and that is what I will be using this season as they fly great.
 
Good work boarhead. Now let's see you do that when deer get into range:smiley_crocodile: glad I could be of assistance
 
Thanks Milo and yes I expect I will have some misses before I connect but will sure have fun trying. LOL Just really looking forward to the challenge whether I get one or not. I am going to get out some now and see if I can take out a few groundhogs with it. Should be fun.

Good luck with the recurve Brian! I enjoy shooting them, just don't have the drive/confidence to hunt with one. Looks like you got it under control!!!
