I am on and off I guess  Some years I am shooting both bows equally and others I am shooting just the compound. This year is just the recurve. I dont know but I may be something of a bio-polar archer  |

I am interested in trad. shooting and I have read up some on it. I have never had the chance to shoot one. I would like to try someday.

Definitely planning on it. About all I have been shooting this winter is the Whip that I got. Hoping to use it on black bear this spring. Still trying to pin down what to put on the end of arrow. Kind of leaning towards a Woodsman.

Will shoot a stick this year. Probably made out of a tree from South America, and a couple more made out of trees from North America. I will probably end up shooting a compound about 15 to 25% of the time - a stick of some sort the rest of the time. I have already shot both this year.  |

I'm fully trad, but split my shooting between recurve and longbow. Normally hunt with the recurve, but lately I'm doing VERY well with the longbows. Last nite was clicking for me with the 'Berry' (thank You BT) and my self-made Hick' backed Jatoba. I think I'll hunt with the sticks more this year.  I couldn't use my BBO last nite since another shooter was thoroughly taken with it.....he never touched his own bow all nite. |

I will definitely try to shoot a recurve more this year I also plan on harvesting at least one deer with it.

I strung up my old recurve last year and I will do it again this year, I may even break out my first "real" bow (after the orange fiberglass ambidextrous one) and give it a go. It is about 35# and should be good for small game. The compounds (even my 1980's Warthog Magnum) spoil me, but I am a traditionalist at heart. I like my gunstocks wood and my muzzleloaders sidelock so it follows I should like my bows stick as well |
