Hey everyone I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dan and I'm 25 years old. I'm fairly new to traditional archery and just moved to Asheville, NC with my wife. I shoot a PSE Kudu at 45#. I'm also new to hunting. I started hunting with a crossbow and then switched to a compound. But after 2 successful deer hunts I switched to traditional. I'm not good enough to hunt with the recurve yet but I'll get there. Hope to see some of you around sometime.

Wow didn't take you long to switch.

Glad to have you!
Yeah I started hunting 2 years ago. So I'm still new to it. But I switched from the crossbow to compound because I just didn't like the crossbow at all. It was too easy and then once I got the compound I felt the same. Once the bow was sighted in, it was the same story. So I got a recurve and never looked back. I not ready to hunt yet but I love it so much. There's so much enjoyment I get out of traditional archery. When I shot the crossbow and compound I didn't feel the same.
When I say 2 successful deer hunts I don't mean I got 2 deer in just 2 hunts. I took me a whole season before I made meat. But after the 2 deer I killed I just had to make a change.
I'm an hour west in Sylva. This is a fantastic place. Welcome!!!

Katz, you are a wise young man, seems to me a lot of people want to hunt the easy way, rifles, scope, crossGUNS etc. they get more meat but far less satisfaction. I can get meat at a store can't buy satisfaction!
I am down on the coast - Atlantic Beach - good deal to be in Asheville should be good hunting.
Thanks for the warm welcome everybody!!! I appreciate all the kind words
