Hi All, I just started back to traditional after 30 years. I started hunting with a recurve at age 15 and wasn't very successful. At age 16 I got my first compound and hunted with one til last year. I had started to get an interest in tradional again and bought a recurve but learning all over again is tough.Now I want to go trad only. I'm currently looking at and shooting some longbows and hope with consistent practice I should be ready for archery season this fall.
Welcome Home !
You've come to the right place.
You will get a lot of encouragement and good advice as needed.
Enjoy your journey along with the rest of us.
Welcome to the tradgang family.
God bless,Mudd

The funs about to start! Enjoy
Enjoy the journey. I am sure you can make it by next fall.
You're story is very similar to my own. I'm a few months into the transition now and have succumb to the simple elegance and beauty of the longbow. I am now enjoying archery more than I ever have. After having listened with an humble ear, I have avoided many of the problems I had years ago with traditional archery and am well pleased with my progress.
You made the right decision. Let the fun begin!
Welcome!
I hope that your journey down this path less traveled provides you with as much fun and satisfaction as it has for me since I made the switch back 3+ years ago
Welcome back, and Good luck this fall, practice practice practice
Thanks, for the replies. I plan on going to some local traditional shoots and hopefully pick up as many pointers as I can. I am really enjoying this so far. It has made archery fun again!
It was the same for me,"it has made archery fun again"!
Sounds like me....
Glad to meet you! This is the best place in the world because the people are like family here.
Good luck - now the fun starts...again! :jumper:
Welcome from Kentucky
