Sorry for the wait i've been traveling Im finally going to cabela's today and I'm gonna be checking out what they got. I was able to go to a local hunting shop and they helped but the debate between the two is still up in the air. If cabela's employees can't help set me up I'll probably head back to the hunting shop and see what they can do I'll keep you guys posted

Spend your money one time and do it right. Buy a compound bow, limb driver rest, good carbon arrows and a good release. You can shoot this setup for a lot years to come. Post what you end up getting

As if getting a good recurve wouldn't be doing it right......

Okk soo I shot both recurve and compound both were awesome but I ended up going with the compound. They didn't have a big selection of recurves soo that might have affected my decision but I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The employees there were really awesome and set me up ill post pics later when I get a chance

Nice I read through earlier posts and saw the you have a 74 lb draw weight on that? That's crazy mines set at 48lbs for right now until I get more comfortable with it.

yea when I havent shot it for a while my arm/sholder get a little sore,but 74lbs is not to much for me. the only bummer about adjusting for more draw weight is haveing to redial in your sight .

Heres finally a picture of my bow. It came with a " ready to hunt package " which means its got a sight and a quiver. I also bought some muzzy broadheads which are extremely sharp I already cut myself with them... I'm loving it just trying to sight it properly which is pretty tough
