Title: 18 months of trad
Post by: Zbearclaw on February 28, 2011, 10:23:00 PM
Eighteen months ago I made the decision to lengthen my bow and my enjoyment of it.  After almost 20 years with a compound, I no longer owned one.

Here is a short recap of my travels with my widow...

Northern California

Southern California

Wow, great shots! Incredible scenery. There is just something different about the "traditional" mind set. Very gratifying.

Thanks guys!  It can't be possible to have more fun than I have the last 18 months.  But I'll do my best to test that theory.

Up next public land birds and some Tejon hogs!
