Only hunt with traditional bows now. First deer I shot with a bow in 1978 was with a 50# Bear Kodiak Hunter. 3 year ago went back traditional due to shoulder surgery killed a 9 point with a 40# Samick Sage, which was all I could draw 9 weeks after the surgery. Last year I shot a 8 point with a 45# Whip Longbow from Dan Toelke from Montana Bows. This year will be shooting a 45# Black Widow recurve if I do any hunting, not into the bait thing and I imagine the guys the tromp around on the land I hunt will have secret piles of golden decoy out everywhere, so hunting is actually low on my priorities now. I don't ever see me going back to compounds and bells and whistles, stick and string is a lot lighter and is just more fun to shoot.
Good luck with your endeavor!

I’ve shot traditional bows for about 20 years and love it. I love the simplicity. I shoot a Turkey Creek TD 62” longbow. She’s 47#@28”. My draw length is 29”. I’ve killed several deer with it. I’ll probably breakdown soon and find a nice recurve. I’ve used wood arrows, aluminum arrows, and carbon arrows. I shoot carbon because they fly well and take a lot of punishment.

I do. Been hunting with one for about 6 years now. Currently shooting a RK1 I saw your Barry Wensel avatar. Have you ever seen the old videos that he and Gene made? I love the ones where they shot deer on the run during deer drives.

I love traditional archery. Shot my first deer with a longbow 11 years ago. Hunted with traditional stuff almost exclusively up until about 3 years ago. My kiddos getting older put a huge damper on my practice time. They are still on the rack, and I usually get a hunt or two in early season when an 8-12 yard shot at a white oak isn't a hugely difficult task.
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

recurves, longbows, self made bows...all of the above. Carbon arras with the recurves and longbows, hickory and cane arras with the self bows and flint points.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Yep. Case for running shots. He does it on bow hunting October whitetails video I really like that video. I just watched a YouTube video of Berry, he is a very gifted outdoorsman.

Oh and remember my Malinois? He’s turned out to be a great dog. He goes into the garden and picks ripe tomatoes and eats them and he also picks bell peppers and eats them too!
