This is a good process for getting to be a Traditional Archer .
After you get a decent bow and some arrows , get a decent target and backstop .
Now get a slingshot , ( don't have to be a very good one ) and a bag of marbles .
Now you are all set .
So here is the process ; take your bow and stand close to the target and shoot 5 arrows . Then take the slingshot and shoot a marble in the air at about a 45° angle and watch the marble as it fly's through the air and notice how it curves down . That will get your brain trained to understand trajectory .
Now pull the arrows and shoot 5 more arrows from about a foot further back and shoot another marble like you did before .
Keep repeating this process until all the marbles in the bag are gone .
Now when you have lost all your marbles you will be a Traditional Archer .

:D   That sums it up pretty well, thank you.   :D

I was wondering where you were going with that   :confused:

I didn't see that one coming.

Now when you have lost all your marbles you will be a Traditional Archer . [/QB][/QUOTE]
         That's pretty much it.

Some people just have tooooooo much time on their hands...  

... mike ...

yep I think that pretty much sums it up        

I was reading as if I needed to go get a slingshot...  Got me on that one!

Does it matter how many marbles are in the bag? I don't have many to start with!

Ya got me too!!!!      that's a good one.

Wow, I'm glad I stopped looking for my marbles (the one's I must have lost a long time ago) before I finished reading that initial post!

I see  what you did there..... glad somebody finally summed it up for me!

God bless,

Nice........

Do you realize what you have done for slingshot sales if some of us don't get to the bottom of the post?  

Thats a good one, had me going!

On a more serious note: what causes one to stick to traditional archery? I had hunted traditional only one season and had harvested a blacktail and a cow elk. The next season I hunted traditional hard until the absolute last day I could pursue elk. I put away the recurve and grabbed the training wheels. I found myself in heavy timber and brush only 7 yards from my elk. I could not see through the sights due to lack of light and had to shoot instinctive! That was the last time I had the wheels in the field. Traditional bow hunting is the pinacle of hunting experience IMHO!

Amen!

   

Here I was thinking, man I have a lot of slingshots, sat there visualizing then finished reading your post.  My wife says I never had marbles to begin with.

Good to see I wasn't the only one sucked into that one! Was funny though!
