Trad bow harvest just seem to have a different meaning. Congratulations to you!

Thanks guys! It was a blast. So fun I had to try it again this morning. I’ll start another thread. WOOHOO!!
Johnal3,
I'm so tickled for you!
Awesome picture and your smile shows the pride of success and happiness in which many "traditional" guys have and exhibit.
I remember my first trad deer too, on the farm!
I remember selling the bow above to another man and feeling so happy for him and his first deer and our conversations to get him there!
Welcome to the addiction of traditional archery!
May there be many more in your future!
Is the New Breed recurve as quiet as the longbow you were shooting?
God Bless,
David B.
Thanks for the congrats, David. The longbow is much more quiet than the recurve, but I haven’t gotten to where I can shoot it real well. The recurve is still quiet, but that longbow is dang near silent. I don’t know if it is the grip or just me, but I know I like a small grip and the LB’s grip is rather big. Eventually, I’ll get used to it though....I hope.

Congrats trad brother. You're right, shooting a nanny with one will shake you up. I sold my hunting compound years ago. I love my longbow.
GO NOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It takes a lot of personal discipline to take on mastering a skill that not everyone has the patience to master. I think traditional archery is one of those skills. And, when you successfully put that skill into practice, there is a unique feeling of pride and accomplishment that is hard to match.
Congratulations on your success!
Jeff Very well put Lester!

Jeff Very well put Lester! No doubt it’s well put. I will say this.... All of this came together really quick, and is almost bitter sweet that it happened so soon. I haven’t hunted a whole bunch this season, but have hunted some. These 2 deer I killed have been the closest ones to me all year. It’s almost funny how it just worked out.
