Shot compound and recurve about 15 years. Stickbows only the last 22 years.

My dad got me a 20# lemonwood longbow for me on my eight birthday. I turned 68 last week=60 years.

18 years but I haven't hunted yet, only shot at paper, foam and garbages left by some stupid people.

Shot compound for 25yrs.
Bought a Wes Wallace last December..got it in June.
Haven't touched my compound since last year.
I'm here to stay.

Not quite a year, after 10 years compounding. But there was a 20 year gap between the start of that and a decade of trad archery.

One of the best things about coming back to trad (and there are a bunch) is that shooting instinctive is lot easier for older eyes, at least mine. I can focus on the target and don't have to worry about a fuzzy pin viewed through a peep.

Since I was 5, so 44 years. There were a few years I shot both, but only because the wheel bow was given to me for free. I never liked how temperamental it was.

LimBender · « **Reply #111 on:** December 08, 2011, 09:34:00 AM »

One year this November and loving it.

About 5 years and loving it. I have 1 wheel bow and the only reason I keep it is because my wife gave it to me for Christmas in 1980, the year our daughter was born.

Traditional since 2005 (not counting as a kid) still working on my apprenticeship but have had a lot of fun doing it.

shadman · « **Reply #114 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:08:00 AM »

56 years and counting

bogeyrider63 · « **Reply #115 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:16:00 AM »

3 years

Eugene Slagle · « **Reply #116 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:27:00 AM »

Total would be 10 years.

I started out shooting a home made Hicory Longbow my grandfather made me in 1979 then later on my Bear Super Grizly that was a total of 7 years.
Recently I returned to my roots & relearned what I had forgotten & have been having the best time shooting ever since.
Been 3 years since I refused to shoot anything that has training wheels on it.

hookster · « **Reply #117 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:30:00 AM »

3 years nine months, went from rifle to longbow.

Jaypo · « **Reply #118 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:33:00 AM »

Not into it yet, but trying. I've been compound bowhunting for about 8 years, but I got the itch to start shooting a trad bow when I found the "Bowyer" shop at my local Renaissance Festival this year. Anyhow, I'm looking to purchase a longbow soon.

BTW- this is my first post, so howdy to all you fine folks!

Not quite a half a century yet but I'll be there real soon...and still learning.

God Bless, Pierre
