Going to give traditional a try. I bought this Bob Lee Signature one piece recurve from a guy on another forum. I just couldn't pass up the deal. It sells new for $499.00

Very nice....

Always wanted to try it. Lets us know how it shoots for you.

nothing wrong with that

I have shot a recurve for a few years. It was given to me by my cousin. He found it in the old house he bought. It is a Ben Pearson Colt 7070.
62"AMO 55#@ 28"
I killed a hog with it last summer. I love the simplicity and the challenge it brings! It is just a bit much poundage for me. Looking forward to getting this new bow in my hands. Tracking it's progress on UPS like a kid! lol

I shot it yesterday for the first time. Man, That thing is nice! The advertised poundage is off on my scale though. I'm still pulling 50# @ 26" when it is supposed to only be 46# @ 26".
I read that you should be able to hold your draw for 10 seconds without letting down. I can, but boy is it tough. I must still have too much poundage.
I shot well at 10 yards though.

Nice!
