Most may not give a hoot about the way I am, but it feels good to lay it out there and see if there are kindred souls that feel the same way. I am not too much into stone points and rawhide strings but I do appreciate a good hickory longbow with a good B-50 endless loop string and wooden arrows fletched with graybarred turkey feathers. I don't much care for devices with wheels unless it's to ride on. If others like em, thats ok, just not the way I am. I like good laminated longbows and recurves as long as they are made of wood and glass, and they don't necessarily have to be super fast with skinny, fast flight strings. I know thats the trend even in trad archery. It's just not the way I am. I just never believed it was supposed to be a tech game. I started in 1964 with a Pearson recurve from Kmart. B-50 endless loop was all there was. Then in the '70s the wheels appeared and I thought no one will buy those tacky things but boy was I wrong. Heck, you could be almost as accurate as a rifle in a week with almost no effort at all. I just dropped out of bow hunting and shooting for a few years til I found out you can make your own stuff if the local "archery" shop no longer has it. I'm glad to see Trad come back the way it has in the tradition of Pearson, Bear, Hill, etc.. The other stuff don't bother me a lot. Just don't call it archery. For what it might or might not be worth, it's just the way I am.
