Sounds fun. A bit painful perhaps, but fun.

Golf is hard to learn and pic up. There are so many small things that you have to do right or it will screw up your swing. I love the game and play all the time. In fact I am playing again this afternoon after work.

That's right. I have already noticed that it is the driver (wood 1) which causes much trouble.
Hitting it correctly is very very spectacular, but to hit it correctly is a difficult task.
What clubs do you use Adler?

Hehe, yes it is but depends on what kind of movements you train.

I use three.

A Forest Knight which was my first bow, now nearly 30 years old. Its a one piece wooden recurve bow which I shoot without any extras apart from a basic sight. It always gets comments as almost no one has seen anything like it before. Its a very simple attractive design with the polished wood grain.
Its good for 80 yards but 100 yards with any wind is a bit much for it now.

A Yamaha YTSL. Another Museum piece around 20 years old. At the time it was one of the best bows around but showing its age now. The main problem with it is that I cannot use fastflight strings due to a weak spot on the riser. The extra strain would be likely to break it.
I can give most people a run for their money with it, certainly at club level.

A Sky USA
This is my modern bow and the one for serious competition.

As you can tell I don't use a compound bow.

When I was 17 I was using a 44lb bow which I didn't know at the time was way too much for me. As a result my right arm and shoulder started to develop more than my left to a noticable degree.

A coach sorted me out and I dont use anything more than a 38lb bow. Doesn't sound much, but it is a noticable difference.

Cheeky Sod. You know there is a whole world of difference between pulling a compound and pulling a recurve.

For those who don't know. On a recurve you hold the weight the entire time you have the bow drawn. On a Compound you pull the bow through the set weight but once you pulled it past the weight there is no weight worth talking about on the arms. This gives you two large advantages

a) As there is no weight you can hold the position for almost as long as you like, making sure of your aim.
b) When you release the bow the pulley system comes into play and you get the set weight of the bow in the energy passed to the arrow. This gives you a much faster arrow speed and lower trajectory making the bow more accurate. The arrow speed is often similar to a crossbow bolt.

I have shot Compound but prefer the challenge of a recurve, finding a compound to easy. Its a quirk of mine or I wouldn't use my old Forest Knight or Yamaha bows in club competitions.
