I did it!
« on: December 20, 2009, 04:00:00 PM »
My wife and wheelie buds think I'm nuts! My matthews compound is on that auction site being sold.So now it's me and my martin savannah.I've been dabbling with my stick bows a couple yrs now but not really confident enough to hunt with them.I have no regrets selling my mechanical shooting device.Now I have to really focus.

You'll be happier as a person, you'll feel more accomplishment, more humility and a respect for life and death people using machines tend to miss.

Enjoy every shot!

That great I made the switch last years and my only regret is that I did not make the switch earlier.

I did the exact same thing this year and dont regret it one bit.  Sold my Mathews late summer and own 3 longbows and 2 recurves now.  I cant wait for the gun season's to wind down so I can get back out and pester some squirrels and rabbits!!

Since I switch to recurve I've never looked back. Both my boys use compounds and all but one of my hunting friends use compounds. I say shoot what you like. I shoot my set up for my reasons and they shoot there's for what they like. For myself its about HOW I shoot not WHAT I shoot or what the newest and fastest thing every year, now I found a bow that feels good in my hands and hits where I'm looking. I did go through about four recurves, buying and selling to find what I now use. I'm now thinking this is what I will use for many more years to come, and I'm happy with that thought.
