looking change to a compound

[fishindude644]

i have been hunting with a recurve for 20 + years now and im thinking of changing to a compound. would like some advice . i dont want something that weighs a thousand lbs either. could someone give me some advice on a light quality compound bow? i know it wont be as light as my rucurve but i dont want a boat anchor either. do they have any with a wood handle so your hand doesnt freeze in the late season?

Welcome to the dark side :D ! You're gonna get bombarded with suggestions, I recommend going out and getting some bows in your hand, and decide what feels right to you.

good luck,

I'm selling a Mathews Legacy. It's a sweet bow and only a couple years old. Ask around, you wouldn't be disappointed. Email me at andy.may@jcisd.org if interested.

What kind of recurve do you have. I got a compound all set up I might trade you.

I was elk hunting with a guy this past sept and he was hunting with a Parker one afternoon we were poking the target and I was thinking the guy was a pretty good shot then I picked up his bow and it weighed about half as much as my mq1. I was impressed. He had no quiver on it and an alpine archery composite rest. It was a sweet setup

Are you hoping to shoot fingers and without a sight or are you going to go all the way and get your sights and release and everything else???

Bowtech
Hoyt
Mathews

Are great places to start, but if you don't want to kill yourself with the price look at the Diamond Rapture or the Hoyt Ultramag both moderately priced excellent bows.

Very good question. If you are going to shoot fingers you should go for a longer axel to axel bow. I alternate between a recurve and compound and shoot fingers (bare-handed) using sights with no peep site. Shooting in this manner makes it a bit easier to go back and forth. My recurve is a Martin Dream Catcher, and my compound is a Darton Cyclone.
