Hello everyone! I'm somewhat new to traditional archery. I have been shooting compounds for a few years, but I have always had an interest in traditional bows, equipment, and skills. I like the simplicity of it all. Last year I got a very nice Dwyer Original Longbow, and I love it more every time I shoot it.
This year I had my season cut very short with another deployment, missed last season completely as well, but I did practice a good deal with my compound and here and there with my longbow. I had the chance to go hunting twice and came to the simple realization that less is more. Carrying all the unnecessary gadgets, what-ifs and heavy compound bow seemed to take away from the experience of hunting.
I enjoy shooting my longbow much more than the compound even though I am not as accurate with the longbow. So, upon my return from Africa I fully intend to immerse myself into traditional archery and sell the compound. Thus leading me here, a great site I come upon every time I research anything traditional. I am certain from my lurking on here that everyone will gladly help me along on my journey to happier hunting.
