Hmm, paper plate eh? Well those are cheap and easy to buy for targets.
With my recurve I can tag a paper plate consistently at up to 20 yards right now. Above 20yds I need a turkey platter.

My recurve is 59#at28" and it probably hits a bit harder than the 72# longbow in the picture I posted. It is wood with glass back though whereas the longbow is a self-bow.
