Title: What traditional archery really is.
Post by: Jakeemt on October 26, 2015, 08:33:00 PM
See I have figured it out. It doesn't matter one bit what kinda bow you shoot or how you shoot it. Fact is you just aren't a traditional bow hunter if you don't have a cool brimmed hat. Ball caps don't count. Boonies do but, just barely.  ;)    (http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae226/jakeemt/image.jpg4_zpshfkyogza.jpg)

P.S. This is just a fun thread so don't get all bent out of shape if you rock a ball cap.

Hat sweet but never liked them on myself. Being a Carolina boy from way back its ball caps and when cold beanies. But I will have to say to each his own on arrows, wow...just...how awful...I mean wow   :eek:    :eek:     :)

The hat seems to be "traditional", but the rest?
Sorry, but a metal riser bow with carboneros (which are so ugly I would not shoot them if they were $10 a dozen)....   :D    :D    :D

Yup, they shoot just fine for me too! I don't think deer give a hoot what color arrow goes through their lungs either, lol.

Oh, and I have several hats like that, but I have to admit your hat band is way cool! I never could shoot a trad bow with a ball cap. The string always hits the bill, so it's soft brimmed hats or a Radar O'Reilly cap when it gets really cold for me.

I also have a problem with my string running into the front of my ball cap when I draw.

I love my hat.  Its not only a draw check (string to brim), it proven to be great luck.  I wear it hunting/shooting with my bow(s) and its proven itself lucky fishing too.

Well, the hat's nice. But those arrows..... I guess you don't have to worry about someone stealing them, do ya?
Title: Re: What traditional archery really is.
Post by: Sam McMichael on October 27, 2015, 10:52:00 AM
I really like the felt hat, and frequently wear one. In warm weather, though, I usually use a ball cap style. But I shoot Hill style bows with wooden arrows, so I hope that offsets the "non-trad" ball cap.

Hats change according to the weather or my mood. A one hat bowhunter is missing out.
As far as the arrows,    :scared:    :knothead: . Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

I kind of like the purple stripes with yaller feathers, boys. Just had to open up the winders and let the Bama pose for a picture the other night.

 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/30coupe/Bamabows%20Expedition%20Hunter%20III/IMG_20151024_164532384_HDR_zps3bsnceou.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/30coupe/media/Bamabows%20Expedition%20Hunter%20III/IMG_20151024_164532384_HDR_zps3bsnceou.jpg.html)

The purple stripes saved me $7 thanks to Big Jim. I'm not too proud to save some money when I can. Gotta save it where you can when you are on a fixed income. I think those arrows will look great with a coat of nice, red, bubbly stuff, lol!    :archer:

BWallace-now that dude is trad.

Sam McMicheal-I dunno man we'll have to get a poll running   ;)  
Course if you rock a picture with the hat we may all be inclined to forget that whole ball cap business..

Walt Francis-......Lighten up Francis.     :biglaugh:

If I brought that hat in the house my wife would "broom" it to smithereens. Snakeskin don't come in the house.

I'm with Pat on the hats, - weather or mood - but really, I own plenty of hats, cowboy to fedoras, but my ball cap seems to stay on the head better in the crazy wind we have around here.  

As for those arrows or the bow...well...if you say so.   :biglaugh:

Always been a fan of the full brim, crushable.  Keep the rain off the back of your neck, roll er up in the pack when the sun comes out.  Bought this one on my honeymoon, lots of good memories with it so far.

Ohh no Bisch! Can't count the ball cap man. Sadly you just aren't trad enough. Better just give up the recurve and take up drone hunting     :biglaugh:   . J/k brother nice buck!

Thumper- this is true The Creature (my bow) is very ugly but, man is it accurate. And yes boonies only barely count.  ;)

Roy- come on man that's the whole point. Heck you can hunt with robots and still be trad if ya have a cool brimmed hat.  ;)

Part of being Trad..... a BIG part, is doing what you want ( legally) and not worrying what others say you should be doing.  If they tickle your fancy for any reason, shoot em.  I have no say in the matter.  I like that hat too, but the brim would get in my way.  Need something shorter or softer.

I like the look of them hats.....but can't/don't like to shoot with anything that has a brim like that.  Once in a while I'll do a ball cap,  but have to make sure the visor is cocked to the side.  Don't really care for it much.  I do a watch cap style beanie 99.9% of the time.  Heavy wool when cold,  light weight merino when its not.  
You got a nice hat there though!
You aren't by any chance color blind are ya?   :laughing:

Exactly, which is why the ultimate trad shooter knows that a lady's sun hat is the best head protection money can buy
