Great reply Charlie!

I shoot a Bear Super Kodiak #55 recurve I bought new for $80 back in '76 with my first money earned off of muskrat trapping!...Instinctive, light, and fast!...sort of how I run my detector...I bought a bunch of Port Orford cedar shaft blanks and made my own arrows as well back in the day...bought I believe were the first run of aluminum shafts way back too, cost me a fortune I remember! Most of them split themselves open in the cold winter just like a water pipe!! Damndest thing I'd ever seen!.

..My how times have changed!
I feel really safe with this bow..you understand I'm sure...I shoot lefthanded, and as you probably know, only 7 bows out of 100 are made for leftys...so a good one with no twisted limbs are hard to find....I had one made by Colt Firearms, also a Bear Grizzly, and a Magnum, etc...but I sold them all and kept what is my most treasured one, my first love, my Black Beauty instrument of Death to any and all fish, fowl, quadrupeds and a few bipedals if needbe!..
Biggest mistake in my life, (outside of marriage) was not plunking down cash for the limited series 1000 run Super Kodiak Takedown commemorative signed and numbered by Fred Bear!...Gold plated hardware even!..In a mahogany case!
Like in this detecting sport, its more about the 'Indian than the bow' they say....yeah, so I'm a believer in simple and fast, you can see I dont even use a rest..I just point and shoot....
Get to know your F75 'bow' there HT8th, it was designed, built, and tillered by a master, it will not let you down. all you gotta do is practice a bit and get it in field...way more deadly and a hell of a lot faster than a compound..
