Doesn't really seem that long ago but it started 27 years ago with a Ben Pearson Mustang. Still in love.
I still have that "first love" hanging on the wall.

About 20 years. My first longbow a Leon Stewart. A very good friend took me over to Leon's shop and that started it all.

Proud to say all my life, well since I was old enough to pull a bow (maybe 5 or 6). I'm 25 now.

This is my second year. I am completely addicted. I used to work in an archery shop where all we sold was compounds. I still have nightmares about being back there.

Started out for the first 6 years with Bear recurves. 17 years wheels, then back to Trad for the last 17 years.

Wow, this is an interesting thread. Some of these guys have shot a long time!!

I been shooting traditional gear for two years. I actually picked up a friend's recurve at our archery lanes in early December 2009. Although I couldn't hit diddly (and still can barely hit diddly), I had a blast. I had my own 'curve by the end of that same month and been hooked ever since.

I am absolutely loving traditional archery and will probably never resort back to a compound. I have been jumping back and forth between 'curves and longbows.

I got my first recurve in 1973.

Never not been trad. Got my first bow (54 Pearson) out of Grandma's closet around age 5. So that makes it around 30 years.

RAU · « **Reply #55 on:** December 02, 2011, 09:55:00 PM »

8 years now with recurves and wood arrows, 12 years with compounds before that. I shot little tiny glass recurves when i was young at my great uncles farm, and at the local Y, and when i was in cub scouts but im not counting that.

Got my first stick and string in 1968. It was a good year.
