Compound / Recurve Bow Picture Thread?

[DFisher3112]

I thought I would see if you guys would like to have a picture thread of all compound / recurve bows you guys own?

I guess I'll start it off... Its a 2011 PSE Stinger. The only one I own and I love this thing!

Ill play...

Here is my '11 Alpine Nitrous.

Its my first bow in about 25yrs and first compound. So far the learning process as been quite painful. String slapped my arm bad enough It looked like I was smuggling a watermelon under my skin, not to mention the colors.

I bought a "cheap" release that kept releasing mid pull which resulted in me being bludgeoned by my own hand.

All that said I am hooked and cannot wait till I feel comfortable enough to take some game.

Let me be the first to rectify the lack of recurve bows in this thread.

My 55# Martin Howatt Hunter (top) and 40# Istvan Toth Magyar Horse Bow (bottom):



I just got the Toth bow to get back into archery after a long absence.

Nice bows guys!

Tarosean, I'm right there with you on the learning part. I have had my fair share of slaps on the forearm. As for the release mine has been great. It's the trufire which comes with the PSE compound bow packages.

Just got back from buying myself a new travel hard case for the bow... I'll post pictures later.
