My wife and wheelie buds think I'm nuts! My matthews compound is on that auction site being sold.So now it's me and my martin savannah.I've been dabbling with my stick bows a couple yrs now but not really confident enough to hunt with them.I have no regrets selling my mechanical shooting device.Now I have to really focus.
Shoot the first legal critter you can. You'll have fun.
Nothing focuses the mind like losing the safety net. Stick with it and have fun :thumbsup:
:clapper:
Thats cool. :clapper:
Im still shoot'n both, can't seem to let one or the other go.
i call my mathews a murder machine! and it has its place ( really 2 of them -one outback one conquest)
but for what i do most times is pick up the recurve- its more me and less machine
Your a big boy now make us proud...LOL :thumbsup: :campfire:
You did the right thing nothing like huntin the hard way !! :clapper: :clapper:
Well done a new jouney is begun
You'll be happier as a person, you'll feel more accomplishment, more humility and a respect for life and death people using machines tend to miss.
Enjoy every shot!
That great I made the switch last years and my only regret is that I did not make the switch earlier.
Jeff man I'm impressed!
I have decided to put the wheels away too.2010 should be a exciting new journey.I hope you have a fun and successful new year. :thumbsup: :archer:
Best move you can make. I always went back to my crutch right before the season...
every journey begins with the 1st step. enjoy it for all it worth.
I did the exact same thing this year and dont regret it one bit. Sold my Mathews late summer and own 3 longbows and 2 recurves now. I cant wait for the gun season's to wind down so I can get back out and pester some squirrels and rabbits!!
Since I switch to recurve I've never looked back. Both my boys use compounds and all but one of my hunting friends use compounds. I say shoot what you like. I shoot my set up for my reasons and they shoot there's for what they like. For myself its about HOW I shoot not WHAT I shoot or what the newest and fastest thing every year, now I found a bow that feels good in my hands and hits where I'm looking. I did go through about four recurves, buying and selling to find what I now use. I'm now thinking this is what I will use for many more years to come, and I'm happy with that thought.
Welcome!!
