A guy that I had known for years bowhunted all of the time. But his bow was always the most expensive compound that he could get. I would always tell him that he needed to get a tradbow and I showed him my bows several times. One day at the fitness gym, three of us were talking about longbows and why we loved them so much. Joe listened as we talked and then the deer stories etc were told. A week later, Joe told me that he had picked up a cheap recurve at a yard sale and needed help in making sure that it was set up right. Joe practiced hard with it but still hunted with the compound. After he had shot two does at 5 to 10 yards, he decided to give the recurve a try. Talk about an excited guy, he had taken a small doe but it was like a Boone and Crockett to him. I didn't see Joe for a year or longer but when I did, he was hard core trad with a much better bow. Turns out he had sold all of his compound stuff and was now talking about a longbow as well. That was fifteen years ago and Joe still loves his trad hunting.
