ooo...the Martin spokemodel is HOT!! good choice. i think a 40lb bow may even be on the heavy side. recurves dont yank like compounds..it gets harder the further you go back.

funny thing about Laura the martin girl...when she puts up a post on Archery Talk..the feeding frenzy begins. all these love stricken men falling over themselves chiming it. it is funny to watch..closest thing to compare it to, is when Jack chimes in here :D hahahah.

good choice..Tevake..if you go native on the local fauna..let me know. i'd love to watch.

Thanks Vash. I'm hoping the pull is not too hard. But it will be a good workout for the shoulder to train up to the weight.

Wow good tip on the Martin girl :D She sure puts herself into her work:) I hadn't realized how versatile the family is.

If the bug to go hunt something bites I'll give you a shout for pointers.

Cheers Richard
