Default Trad Shooting

Hi, I would hope you will take the re-curve out and shoot it alot, this would become a strength training opportunity and will really help with draw, stance, and release. That style of bow has no center shelf for your arrow to rest on and shoots off the hand or knuckle, it can be a very accurate bow, but most of my experience says not if your just getting into bow hunting. A center shot bow has alot less arrow paradox and is easier to tune your arrow too than a bow shooting around the left or right side. Hitting power aside shot placement and vitals are key, as well as the distance your shot is from the animal. I shoot a longbow at 48 pounds and have taken Moose, Elk, Deer, Black Bear with it over the years, not to mention hundreds of gophers and rabbits, and grouse, It can be done all it takes is practice.
Good Luck, and remember take your shot, where the arrow lands is the target.
