Well...after the last couple of years of playing the compound vs recurve game, I followed through on my 2009 resolution to sell my compound(s) and just use my recurve. Over the last few months, I have sold 2 other compounds one by one and just last night, I sold my last (and newest) compound.
May seem kind of wierd to those of you who have been shooting stickbows for a while but I originally thought I might regret doing it but I can honestly say there is no regret. I am really excited at what this year brings.
Stick with it and you are in for the time of your life. Remember... Wiggle in with a good bunch of other Trad Shooters, learn, learn and learn. You'll never look back!

Well then, I expect to see you at the CTAS High Country Shoot this year. The banquet is coming up too. You won't be sorry.
I sold both of my compounds two and a half years ago now and I could not be happier. Welcome to the trad only community. :campfire: :archer: :coffee:
thanka all...looking forward to it. kadbow, I am planning on being there . Might also try to slay some bunnies at the ctas shoot as well. btw, enjoyed your article in tbm...congrats!
nothing like trad! be patient and don't give up on it. if your like me you'll find that you can't see yourself hunting any other way. well maybe primitive. LOL
That's what I had to do in order to get serious.
did the same thing to get serious about ground hunting-sold all the treestands!
My resolution was "no more new bows!!!' as I really do need to save $$$ to pay off my up-coming bear hunt with Homer Ocean Charters.
Then the Post office calls yesterday [1-7-09]"You have a couple long boxes down here"... Guess I blew that one.....and it's not even Feburary yet. :goldtooth:
