moog5050 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 My first recurve was a bear kodiak magnum. It’s a short 52” 50lb bow. Only recurve I have used on a spot and stalk on a deer. But Fred has more balls than me. I don’t think I would hunt grizzly with it. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 A Bear Grizzly was my first recurve back in the 70’s. Hunted with it but never killed anything. I don’t recall for sure want to say it was 45# draw at 28” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention hunting from the ground. lol NOT ME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand IIRC Bear hunted polar bear 3 times with the guide shooting the bear on charges, connecting on the 4th try having the bear succumbing to the bow shot. And thats not a knock, chasing dangerous game with a old school bow takes more balls then I got. Standing there with a rifle makes you feel like a toothpick is in your hands when big game gets serious, standing there with a pointy stick puts it all on the guide. It might not help, but at least I can do something even if its just in my own mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
