Read lots of reviews and would like some specific advice.
I am looking to buy a trad bow to meet this criteria:
1) Take Down
2) Durable
3) Capable of taking all North American Game (Obviously will need to change limbs / arrows etc..)
4) did I mention durable :)

This is going to be a go to hunting set up. I will hunt with no other bows once I get the right set up.
Thanks for the advice.:rock: ]]> Traditional Archery Curtix http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?47826-Help-picking-a-bow http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?47814-Problem-with-arrow-flight= Mon, 06 May 2013 18:59:02 GMT I currently wiped the dust off of the 45# ben pearson recurve my father handed down to me and started shooting it. currently it has a 12 strand bcy... I currently wiped the dust off of the 45# ben pearson recurve my father handed down to me and started shooting it.
currently it has a 12 strand bcy b55 flemish string and 27" easton storm 500 arrows with 100 grain tips, and 4" vanes. My problem is that when i release the the nock end is sort of goes up and down. Anything is helpful. I realized that I'm not going full traditional, I just wanted to get into it as cheap as possible, so I'm using the arrows and heads from my compound setup. ]]> Traditional Archery Matr138920 http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?47814-Problem-with-arrow-flight http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?47803-Los-Angeles-Rabbit-Hunting= Mon, 06 May 2013 04:43:08 GMT Hi guys. This is my first post. I've been shooting a recurve for half a year and was thinking about going small game hunting this summer. I live in Woodland Hills and have a friend who lives in Bell Canyon. Does anyone know if it legal to hunt around Bell Canyon? I think it's specifically the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon. I know the Angeles NF allows hunting as well. ]]> Traditional Archery Matthew Hsu http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?47803-Los-Angeles-Rabbit-Hunting http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?47732-Samick-Sage= Fri, 03 May 2013 14:04:56 GMT Is it advisable to shoot the Sage off the shelf?

Im new to traditional archery.
just got the sage in 45lbs.
can draw it back and shoot without much effort.
it came with a carter rest but the adhesive came off the same night.
is the learning curve much harder when shooting off the shelf? ]]> Traditional Archery stevietangles http://forums.bowhunting.com/showthread.php?47732-Samick-Sage
