: Brian,

: Sorry to hear you've given up the sport, those are some pretty impressive
: archery credentials yer sporting there!!

: I shoot a 20 year old Martin Cougar Magnum with an 82# draw weight and about
: 20% letoff. All my friends have moved up to slick new equipment and
: snicker at my old bow but it just seems like part of me. The only trouble
: I ever had with it was about 6 years ago in the late season I called in a
: large bull moose, I had one too many sweaters on and could only reach
: about 3/4 draw, I just started to laugh out-loud, I'd been bowhunting for
: 20 years and make a rookie mistake like that. The moose didn't see the
: humor in the situation and made a hasty departure. Hamburger Helper
: doesn't tase all that bad.
: Between kayaks I'd like to build a nice, easy to shoot recurve. One of the
: contributors on this board, David Hanson, put me onto some interesting bow
: building sites.
: I always find it interesting to find out more about the contributors to this
: board, hey, it beats watching sitcoms

Neil from Bear's Paw bows is my grandma's neighbor:

I figure if I get back into shooting, I'll have him build me a takedown recurve, or hire him to help me build my own.
