Hello all, just wanted to say traditional archery has added another convert to the ranks. I received a used 64", 46# Predator Phoenix from a very nice gentleman up in Michigan last week and got a chance to shoot it for an hour or so on Saturday. I still can't believe how much fun it was and I can confidently say shooting my compound was never that enjoyable. I had read Jay Kidwell's book twice before ever nocking my first arrow and in no time I was drilling sticks at 20 yards--not with every shot, of course--but often enough to make it exciting and to know that I COULD figure this out. I'm completely stoked and my compound is going on craigslist.
Welcome, you're in for the ride of your life! :campfire:
Wewlcome :archer2:

Welcome from Kentucky!
Enjoy and welcome!
Simple.... and fun!
The fun in mastering the "simple" bow can be challenging and very rewarding.
Welcome to the best habit I ever picked up.
God bless,Mudd

That is way cool! It happened the same way for me two years ago, i shoot a Big River Long Bow that belonged to my friend and i was hooked! Sold the wheelie bow and ordered a custom Big River. Pretty soon you'll be wondering why it took so many years to do it. Congrats.
Another One Bites The Dust! Welcome, and enjoy the ride.......

That's to funny :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: I don't think there is such a thing.
Nobody in their right mind wants to be happy with just one bow. You will see. There are so many great bows to choose from, you will want to have many. Welcome to trad gang.
There is nothing like it. As one famous archer of the past has said it is bewitching!
