58 years. It was the only kind of archery then. "trad" archery had not been invented yet! I shot compounds and sticks for a few years in the '70's but did not enjoy the wheel thing very much.
I admire you guys who started with wheels and then went to sticks. Much harder than learning sticks as a kid like I an many others here did.

My first bow was a Ben Pearson longbow in 1955. Did shoot a compound during the mid 70s to late 80s though.

Started around '76 as a kid, bought my first wheels in '89 and sold the last one in 2002. So I guess that would make 22 yrs with the traditional gear. Although I had a lot of successful years with the compound I really got tired of the tinkering and drifted back because of the challenge.
