Title: Well I Finally Did It!
Post by: deadmule on October 14, 2011, 03:49:00 PM

After hunting with a compound bow since 1977, I finally closed the book on modern archery... period! I just sold my compound bow today and everything that went with it, and now I'm sticking to the 3 longbows that I have. It feels like a weight has been lifted and I don't regret it one bit.

My thanks goes out to all Trad Gang members for sparking the fire for me again with tradional archery!

Good on you! I think you will find it is much easier to shoot a trad bow while hunting.

Best decision ever. There's a whole new world ahead of you now. I did the same thing 3 years ago. Stay connected to Tradgang, best resource and bunch of folks on the net.

Cant wait to get to this point, but im young and stupid and it still matters to me to kill a big buck. I know i will change soon though.

Congrats! Thers no feeling like the feeling of doing it yourself!
I myself slipped a couple of months ago and bought a compound.That only lasted a month and I was back. Well, blowing up the compound hastened the return :scared: but I was already on my way back anyways. Too heavy,too complicated, and as my wife so eloquently put it while we were sitting in the emergency room after the blow up. Trad bows are idiot proof! :p
