Title: First full traditional season complete
Post by: bwcollins on December 04, 2021, 09:10:20 PM: Well, I’ve been a member for several years and dabbled in traditional archery a few years back. I didn’t post much but read a ton! I was mostly just flinging arrows and having fun and hunting with my compound. I managed to kill one doe shooting instinctive and split finger, and really didn’t know a whole lot about tuning or anything a few years ago. I didn’t mess around with the trad bow much until the end of season last year. Chasing inches and stressing all season I needed a change, I decided to hunt the season traditional…

I built a Hoyt excel/tradtech bow as in years past guys were doing here on the board and loved it. A few years of tinkering and tuning got me confident to hunt a full season this year. I shot a doe on public land 10 yards on the ground in October, and killed this buck around Nov 11 grunted him in cruising. Missed him at 8 and got a second shot at him.

Unfortunately earlier in November I did wound/lose a 130s 8 but it’s part of the game… Thankful for a great season, and now shooting 3 under/gap, I can’t see myself going back! Thanks for all the knowledge here learned a lot

Most fun I've had in a Long Time. I honestly don't see myself going back to the Compound bow. Congrats on a fine season.
