I use to own and hunt with a Pearson Cougar Re-Curve. It was a very smooth bow to shoot, not very fast but accurate. I loved that bow as much as I love my WBY 300. I let someone talk me out of it, CHEAP! I ended up with a PSE Compound bow, very fast fps in compairison, sometimes not quite as accurate and violent to shoot. Its like shooting a 223 for many years and then picking up 300 MAG for the first time. Surprise! When I release my arrow I can feel the torque throughout my body. I miss my re-curve but I love my WBY 300, and that alone makes me smile. Steve Mc
