I haven't shot trad in 12+ years , I got into wheeled contraptions when I started hunting, got bored after a while and quit bowhunting the last two years. Now im back home to the traditional ways............And I have to relearn everything!!!!!!
I learned to fletch my own arrows and got the old curve a new string. Its not tuned at all but couldn't wait any longer to shoot some.
Here is my first 3 shots, ways to go but ill get there, tuning will help. Either way im waaaaaaay addicted again and loving every second of it.

nice!!!! great job and welcome back from the dark side lol
Nice shooting! I can remember my first set of arrows (which weren't even spined correctly). But I didn't know anything and shot them anyway. Glad to see you come full circle.
Way to go! I had a 3-year layoff from shooting my trad gear. Dang, I missed out on a lot of good times! Now, I have to force myself to take a day off from shooting!
Have fun!
Welcome back your groups will improve with tuning and practice,glad your here.
Cody, Welcome back. You don't realize how much you miss shooting a Traditional Bow, until the second time around. I agree, layoff due too injury for me. Glad your back, keep shooting.
Great stuff CodFin! Welcome back. Dig my new book. Thanks
You have done the right thing in coming back! nice job.
Welcome back to the simple life.
Those old bows throw carbons just fine. Good shooting.
Same here. It's been close to 20 years for me. I started on a borrowed compound about a year ago, but it just didn't feel right, so off I went and found a mid 70's Kodiak Magnum, and the fun had begun! I'm running carbons thru mine with good results so far.
