i would think it would fit but i still think your wasting your money with a 7.5. they are weak. when i blew up my 7.5 i only had 29's. you would also be miserable with those gears on 31's
and a trac lock is pointless keep looking for an 8.8

ah SHIT!
im down to wheel when I have time, its hard for me to make promises when I am on call tho.

morg dont waste your money. they lower gearing you get the more fragile the gears are, so the more likely you are to break them. plus lower gearing gives you more power so the fragility of the gears is compounded. stop half assing things and do it right or ima shake the shit out of you!

tom Ill have to keep a look out for some bows then, my only problem is I am left handed, makes my search a lot harder... but thanks for the info, maybe Ill look into a compound bow :) not so much looking to hunt with it more just target stuff. also what kind of poundage or what ever should I look into? when I was shooting the recurve i was shooting a 35 lb and a 20 lb. I think I could get used to a 35 lb but the 20 lb was definitely a lot more comfortable.

Compound bows are a completely different animal then a recurve. You're a big boy, you should be shooting in the 60 to 70lb range. Also technique plays a big part. With proper technique, using your back muscles to draw the bow rather than your arms, 60lbs is fairly easy. I shoot a 70.

With your very limited archery experience you could learn to shoot right handed. (Shooting right handed you hold the bow in your left hand and draw with your right.) You would be more prone to torquing the bow, but with a proper grip it should be a non-issue.

Let me know when you want to go finger **** some bows, I'll go with you.:D

When do you wanna go? This weekend sometime?

Gonna have to go high. I was in the hills a couple weeks ago, didn't see any snow till above 6000'. Even then there wasn't a whole lot.
