After just getting into traditional archery just about a year ago and shooting compounds for 30 yrs. ive decieded to take off the training wheels and go traditional for good. Much more of a challenge, don't get me wrong i still love shooting the wheel bow but nothing better than traditional.

It sure is addictive.

I was addicted the first time i hit the target at 20 yrds.

It`s all about the fun. Take the path that leads to the most fun.

I`m guessing the bow in your hand means you have learned where the most fun is, but you have ALWAYS been "traditional".

:D

Next week will be my 1st full year of trad, the first time i shot my friends Big River longbow i was hooked and decided right then and there i was done with the wheels. So i sold all 3 of the wheelie bows i had and have never looked back. Hey 30point, i see your from Kansas-BIG BUCK COUNTRY, i have heard stories and would really like to find out first hand about those Big Bucks within the next couple years , i hope some day, i just keep Dreaming.

Good for you!

It's great to be able to choose and to change isn't it! You gotta admit it is addicting and very fulfilling. Better later than never. I'm happy for you and the years of enjoyment that lie ahead.

I did the same thing but a little over 2 years ago, got tired of the gadgets & wanted some challenge & fun.

Welcome brother my you enjoy each day.

Been trad only for almost 3 years straight now. Will never go back to wheels. Never shot aerials nor stumps nor fish with the wheelie. Never even entered my mind. Now I do all three and have much more fun!

Nothing wrong w/cmpnds. Shoot the most fun. Trad is challenging for sure.

Best thing i ever did was sell my wheel bows.Now im hooked and my son loves it also.Congrats

I just completely jumped the fence myself. It is way more satisfying in my opinion. Only one more wheelie to sell and I will be completely free of the gadgetry.

I'm in the same boat. Been going for 1 year 1 month and 15 days now. Nothing better.

Same here! No intentions of going back.

just started shooting traditional last year and cant believe the instant addiction. wheels put away for good i think

sawtoothscream · « **Reply #18 on:** February 17, 2011, 05:27:00 PM »

i love it. i try to shoot my compound every now and then, but get bored and grab my long bow after a few shots. just bought a new bow in the classified on here and that will be my hunter if i like it. cant freaking wait for that to come.

think im going to brinf the long bow and compound in the tree next year. under 20 yds long bow over compound. im not ready to give up compounds for hunting just yet.
