Just wondering how long you gangers been shooting trad?

3 years trad, and ever since the first time shooting arrows.

23 years

3 years trad. Before that 10 years with the training wheels.
Before that lots of shotguns and rifles. East and west US.

65 years.

21 years since my first "real" trad bow (a Zipper). I grew up with kids stick bows and my dad and uncle always had recurves around for me to gawk at!

Since the early 1950's except for a short time 1971 thru 1976 I did play with a com-com-com I can't even say it. In 1976 I went back to the longbow and I'm still loving it

Got my first recurve at 12 yrs old, a Pearson.   Had a few others and some compounds over the next 9 years.  

I got back into it pretty heavy in 1988,  when i odered my first custom bow, a Brackenberry Legend recurve.   Been buying and shooting ever since!

I've never really shot anything else.

Since 1958 . . . first archery deer permit in 1966.

3 years this coming april, 35 with a compound before that, still hunt with slug gun,rifle,muzzleloader, really love it all. The longbow is by far my favorite way to hunt though.

26 years

4 years deer hunting with a longbow. Been fortunate to get deer 3 of the 4 years. Shot alot with bow as a kid. Bought a compound a while back and sold it a week later. Seemed too complicated to me. All my other years of hunting have been with black powder and an old LC Smith. I Just like the old traditional stuff. But that's just me, it's all good :-)

20 years. I started in 1991. Only regret was the 5 years of using that gizmo with the training wheels before that. Oh well, I always was a slow learner!!!          

27 years.............

41 years.

Around 7 or 8 years and STILL crazy over it .

50 years minus the 3 when I was an impressionable teen and shot "one of those things", then came back to a Hill longbow.

Bought my first recurve in 1985. 26 years

41 years, first trad harvest 1972
