Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

21 years since my first "real" trad bow (a Zipper). I grew up with kids stick bows and my dad and uncle always had recurves around for me to gawk at!

Since the early 1950's except for a short time 1971 thru 1976 I did play with a com-com-com I can't even say it. In 1976 I went back to the longbow and I'm still loving it

Got my first recurve at 12 yrs old, a Pearson.   Had a few others and some compounds over the next 9 years.  

I got back into it pretty heavy in 1988,  when i odered my first custom bow, a Brackenberry Legend recurve.   Been buying and shooting ever since!

4 years deer hunting with a longbow. Been fortunate to get deer 3 of the 4 years. Shot alot with bow as a kid. Bought a compound a while back and sold it a week later. Seemed too complicated to me. All my other years of hunting have been with black powder and an old LC Smith. I Just like the old traditional stuff. But that's just me, it's all good :-)

20 years. I started in 1991. Only regret was the 5 years of using that gizmo with the training wheels before that. Oh well, I always was a slow learner!!!  :knothead:    :archer2:    :dunno:

50 years minus the 3 when I was an impressionable teen and shot "one of those things", then came back to a Hill longbow.
