[TC in Spfld]

Bought my first bow (Browning Nomad) on time payments from my paper route in 1963.  Slipped over to the dark side 1976 to 1982 before clearing my head!

I shoot trad from 1989-1995. Then shoot a compound barebow until 2009. I was married and still was in school and working,it just seemed easier at the time I guess. I always keep my longbow and recurve around and would still shoot here and there. I always new I was going to switch back it just took longer than I thought.

On and off for about 15years, can't seem to pick trad over wheels or the other way around lol

[MCNSC]

Shot a recurve as a kid cause that's all there was. Bought a compound when I decided I wanted to hunt with a bow although I did ask the shop owner if they had any recurves(they didn't) bought an old recurve from a newspaper classified add practiced on and off with it for about 3years before deciding I wanted to use a recurve to kil just one deer.
Been 20 some odd years and never had a desire to shoot a compound again.

43 years. Killed my first deer with a Herter's recurve in 1976. Never got interested in the compound thing although I did own one for a couple months in the late 1970's.
