Cygnus - Is the Parker a compound, recurve or long bow? I'm always amazed at the recurve and long bow instinctive shooters. I have a 45# Greatree Goshawk, but so far the technique escapes me. Young girls seem to do well at it. I wish I had started when I was younger. Years of relying on sights has made the shift to instinctive a challenge.
Dropy - What bows (styles/makes) have you looked at? Many people mistakingly look at target bows with the intention of using them to possibly hunt with. Quite often a target bow will not hunt well.
