« on: March 21, 2009, 10:42:00 PM »
how many of the younger generation of traditional bowhunters do we have on here and wats your set up and success record? i myself turn 15 in april have killed 2 deer with the bow and am currently shootin a bruin master 60" 50@28(but that seems to change allot cause i have a tendancy to swap out bows).
Aim small, miss small
 
I dont miss i give warning shots

Don't know if you would consider me young at 27. Been shooting trad since I could walk. "My success record" I don't know exactly but I have got a deer almost every year since my first when I was a little younger then you and a few elk and lots of small game. Sounds like you are off to a good start and keep it up.

I'm 15 and started shooting trad about a month ago. I haven't killed anything yet but hopefully will have some luck with some deer next fall or maybe even some turkeys this spring. Anyway, I'm shooting a Damon Howatt Coronado, you can look at my signature for specs.

I'm 18, I've got a 55# Bear Montana, and a 45# Samick Verna. I just got into trad about a year ago and have only killed a few carp, chipmunks and squirrels. Hopefully a turkey this spring!   :)

I'm a 19 year old city boy who is being turned into a country boy by his girlfriend and her family.  They are getting me into trad and I can't wait to learn how to shoot in a few weeks.  Then I need a job so I can get a nice bow.  I love wood so compounds and all their gadgetry is not beautiful but a trad bow is gorgeous.  I'll probably be making bows in not too long (:

Dang, I guess I'm the old timer of this bunch at 28   :(  I've been bowhunting since I was 14, switched to trad at 17. So far I've just taken 2 whitetails, and two bears with trad gear. Also countless gophers, but I hardly count that as hunting, just pest control. Looking forward to this fall, as my hunting has taken a backseat the the last few years.
