    @Ryan_Songhurst i have shot recurve and compound both right and left handed, taken a few goats possums and rabbits with the compound but not a lot with the recurves. i started with righthand as im right handed but realised after the fact im left eye dominant and with a shoulder injury could no longer use a right handed bow. so picked up the old mans lefthand recurve and got a new string made up, hoping to get onto a deer with it at some stage, just moved house so have room to practice now, if your in the outram area let me know and you can give it a try (only 50lbs draw) its quite possible you are left eye dominant so would be good to confirm this before you make a purchase. i make my own arrows up with either cedar shafts or just recently made some carbon ones with a timber veneer on the outside which gives the best of both worlds (straightness and weight and look traditional) i purchased my products from stick shooter supplies and if i was in the market for a new bow i would look at the slikstick, really nice light traditional bow with a really high speed for draw weight (as far as recurves go) good reviews on youtube etc, nowhere i know of in the south to look at them tho.
