Don't get me wrong , the new bows are very nice but you still catch yourself wanting to shoot that old faithful and take it out for just one more hunt .
Gotta love 'em .
This is why I shoot trad, Graps.
Yes; there are better, newer, faster, better- looking trad bows out there today, made of modern composite materials, lightweight alloy risers cut past center with bushings pre-installed for stabilizers, sights, plungers and the like, that shoot microshaft carbons with lighted nocks, internal weights, multi-blade replaceable blade broadheads and...
all that's missing are the cams.
To each his or her own, I s'pose. But I tradhunt because I want to go back to a simpler time, less cluttered and complicated, when the bowyer's touch mattered more than the high-tech materials the bow was being made of. To me, that's what it's all about. That's why I keep gravitating back to bows that were being built before I was in high school. There's an air; an aura about them that the new bows can't touch. So yeah; I know what you mean, brother.
