I'm a relatively young guy at 32 years old, and I started out with a compound in high school.  About 5 years or so back, I decided to give trad a try.  My initial reasons were mainly for more of a challenge and bragging rights, though I was also drawn to the history aspect being a bit of an old soul compared to most guys my age.  The reason I have stuck with trad is the simplicity of it.  I just find the simplicity of shooting a bare bow to be more enjoyable, and sights take away from that simplicity.  

Having said that, I've come to like vintage bows more than modern custom bows, and I've seen quite a few vintage bows for sale with vintage sights on them.  If I was ever to buy one with vintage 1960s sights already on it, I'd probably shoot it and hunt with it that way.
