I hear ya. I'm 2 years in, totally trad and every once in a while, after a bad day of shooting I still think about the wheels. But I've proven to myself that I have it in me to be accurate with the stick and string.  Once I was able to just blame misses on me and laugh them off I'm ok. But the good groups and the kills make it all worth it.

And I got her. If my "new" Mohawk is the one of which you speak. And I'm pretty pleased.

Been 30 years for me with traditional bows. Every once in a while I'll take a shot or two with a friends or my son-in law's bow. All it takes is a few shots...it's fun to fool around once in a while...but then I'm back! Can't remember a time over the last 30 years that I seriously thought about returning to the wheels. I enjoy the pure and simple nature of our chosen weapons.

Switched two years ago and will never look back.  Not even tempted.  No frills, no bolts, screws, or other crap to work loose, a lot less weight.  I am loving trad and having the best hunting seasons of my life.  

Hunting is a pleasure and killing is not nearly as important as the fun I am having.  Throw in all the great folks on here and in my local trad circles and I couldn't justify going back to wheels if I tried.
