Use the force, Ron. Do not return to the dark side. Truth, power, and wisdom lie along the path of the stick and string!

I remember when I got rid of My Wheelie bow.. It was the best thing I did when it came to archery/bowhunting.

I would get rid of mine if I knew of some one to give it to....the darn thing ain't worth anything...lol! I don't think I have shot it in 2 or 3 years, maybe longer!

:clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:  I am happy for you.  I remember getting rid of mine a few months ago.  Now the only time I touch one is for my son who is 16.  I bought him a Kanati and loves to shoot it, but... he does not spend the time he should with it.  Best wishes this season. Will be my first TRAD ONLY!!!

Think I see another bowaholic in the making-if you're already seeing room for a few more,then 5 or 6, then start making another room to hold them. Welcome to the disease, no cure, and no need for one.

I still own one, now if I could just remember where I put it maybe I could sell it and use the money for a good cause. Like maybe it could pay for shipping on a shooting tab or something bigger like a quiver..lol

I always thought it was priceless and I was right...lol Not worth a durn thing!

Congratulations!!

God bless,Mudd

Congrats.  I gave my 25 year old compound to a struggling college student.  Since it has no sights or release I hope to bridge him to a recurve as soon as I can pick one up for him cheap.

last un-traditional bow I had was an onida eagle no wheels just cable. Think it was 1991 when i sold it. Good job you will never regret going all traditional.

I did it almost 20 years ago with out any regrets.You'll enjoy archery much more,to switch back and forth isn't really productive.

Now wait a minute, there's no reason you couldn't have shot both.  I love shooting my Athens and my trad bows.  I kill with both and it's ok.

There is one thing for sure, there is no cure when you're  bitten by the archery bug!  Enjoy your new focus!

Way to go Bro!

My old '97 model Matthews is still in the closet...haven't shot it in years but can't bring myself to part with it. Sort of a sentimental thing - we killed a lot of critters together.

It's OK, my curve and LB's are not jealous.
