Anyway back to more important things, glad to hear you are a recurve man. I started shooting back in the late 70s (I was a very annoying junior archer back then!) when it was all recurve, at least in the target side of things, and then those damnable wheelie compound bows started coming in in the early 80s. I haven't shot seriously for nearly 20 years after my shoulder packed it in, but I miss it a lot. Nothing like the feeling of a nice clean release and knowing without even looking that you have nailed the ten ring.

Like you, Malcolm, I have a total aversion to compound bows - they do make life a bit too easy for the archer, so it's little wonder they are disallowed in Olympic archery competition. And they even look, well, like antiquated sewing machines
I too, love to hear the satisfying 'thwack'when that arrow hits a 10! Sweet stuff. The ultimate challenge, however, is the long bow (no sights, counterbalancing gear, etc). Pure Robin Hood stuff and all about skill.
A bit off the telescope topic, but good to hear from a fellow archer!
Cheers,
Richard
