You should treat yourself with a new bow! In large part because I suggest that to everyone. :)
I would really like to have a recurve, too. The compound is definitely easier to draw and hold, but a recurve is much more traditional. One of those and a rolling target ball would be much fun.
It really is a relaxing sport. Much like billiards with all the walking, and walking, and walking. :)
Perhaps this week. I plan on travelling to the city and visiting the place I bought the other two from.
