I consider myself a pretty fair shot on a good day. Less so on a bad day. I generally have more O.K. days, though. One way I describe myself is that on some days I am an archer, but on other days, I am just a clown with a bow in his hand.
I started archery in 1959 (age 10) but did not shoot seriously ubtil I was a teenager. Even then, I spent more time with the rifle than the bow. In the 1980's, I became much more serious with the bow, and by 1990, when I tried a longbow, was really into bow hunting. 22 years ago I stopped deer hunting with a rifle altogether, with the exception of taking one deer with black powder.
All of my bowhunting has been with traditional gear. When I got started, there was no such thing as a compound bow, and I never saw any reason to get one. Yes, I was greatly influenced by the adventures of Howard Hill, which may explain my attraction to Hill style longbows. Essentially, that's all I shoot now.
