I'm 26. Started shooting when I was 20 with traditional equipment. First couple years of hunting was just me enjoying the woods, not very serious about it. The last few years I've been more into hunting hard but I have a growing family (baby #3 due in less than a month) so hunting takes a backseat. I've harvested deer, pigs, small game, working on a turkey (rotten turkeys...).
Lately I've been really interested in the various types of target archery. Been doing different shoots and competitions because I just love shooting. I can't always hunt but I can always find some way to shoot when I have time.

some real cool guys, tradtusker I'd say that's the kind of gang we could use more of in this world, i'm 24 and glad i got into trad hunting before to much of life went by, last year was my first year, shot 4 deer 9 woodchucks a handful of squirrels and rabbits and more carp and gar than i could count (love bowfishing) with my 50# whisperstik that JD made me, I agree with Str8Shooter I really just love shooting any time i can.

Some fine young men...and women on here! Congrats and good job to you all.
My sons are not computer guys at all, but they both hunt. My son Boone is 23 and has taken elk and deer. My son Kory is 20 and has killed a couple fine bull elk, many whitetails and 4 turkeys, along with numerous small game from rock chucks, to gophers, to grouse. Both shoot longbows and selfbows in the mid-sixties to seventy pound range.
David...shooting that Bridger Mtn. longbow, my favorite longbow and at my favorite length and poundage. My son Boone shoots the same settup.

The whole family is going to staff at Boy Scout Summer Camp this year and I will run the Rifle Range and my middle son the Archery. I got them some good recurves a few years ago. There was talk about adding some compunds. I told them over my dead body! I want to teach the bows to shoot first before they go on to trigger and sights.
I truly hope to get a few boys interested in traditional archery the way I was with Scouts. I am making sure that they have good equipment and instruction. I have also been assured that all electronic devices will be left at home. Hooooray for a week in the woods!

Im 15 as well and so far I've only gotten a few squrriels with my bow. Missed a doe and turkey during bow season this year and just came back from a weekend of coyote hunting with nothing.
My set up is 30in 6075 CX Terminators with a 140-165grn heads.
Or
31 in CX Heritage, 100grn inserts, 140-165grn heads.
Fred Bear Grizzly 55@28 and I think I'm around a 29 1/2 draw so whatever that is.

Im 25yo hailing from Canberra, Australia. Been into archery for about a year or so, trad all the way and hopefully my hunting career will kickstart this year or next.
I shoot a 46# Predator recurve and have just recently purchased a 70# ACS CX longbow.

I'm 13 and will be 14 in April. I have killed 5 hogs, lot's of small game and love to bowfish. I missed 3 whitetails this year.
I shoot recurves and longbows but mainly shoot my Ancient Spirits Kadiak 48@26". I shoot Easton 500 Full Metal Jackets and 250 grain Wensel Woodsman. Several of my friends shoot with me in tournaments and I've recently gotten my uncle into trad archery. Traditional Archery is a big part of our life. We hunt and/or shoot tournaments year round. This is a cool thread....Skyler
