I first started hunting with a bow in 1971. I was introduced to it by a co-worker. My friend loaned me one of his bows to start with. It was a steel recurve, takedown bow with 100# pull. What a beast!

I did learn to shoot it rather well however. My first season, I stalked up on a feeding doe and took her with a clean, high lung shot from 31 paces, using the old Bear Broadhead. That year, for Christmas, my girfriend presented me with a Browning recurve that had a 45# draw weight. The following deer season saw me down a 5pt. Whitetail with it. Then in 1975, I bought an Oneida Eagle. It's kind of a cross between a recurve and a compound bow. Its draw is set at 64 pounds. It was a very lucky bow for me. With it I've taken several nice Whitetail bucks, including a nice 10 pointer, and an 11 pointer, along with a Black Bear here in my home state of Pennsylvania, and several Caribou. Unfortunately, I can no longer shoot a bow. I injured my shoulder somehow, and can no longer draw a bow. I've been to several specialists, and I've had all the tests done, and nothing shows up as to what is causing the shoulder pain. It's just there, and nothing helps it

At least I can still hunt with a rifle though.
