This afternoon and it was fun! I got to seriously spend some time hunting with it.

Traditional stuff is a lot of fun. I just wish I didn't suck so bad at it.

With traditional bows you have to practice all year but your accuracy will come over time, just have to have a desire to shoot traditional. I've never shot a compound but my son has...he says trad is more mental to him.

stick bows are easily 100X more fun to shoot than compounds.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Just a Samick, nothing fancy, but they’re good little bows for the money.
I’m gonna shoot more this week.

I bet if The Rob was shooting at an owl he could hit it.

I’m gonna shoot more this week. They are great bows. Honestly, I like the way my Sage shoots better than a lot of custom bows I've had. They don't have the cosmetic finish but my Sage is dead in the hand and quiet...that's the main things I want in a bow. I have a Mountain Muffler string on it. Aint nothing wrong with a compound but for me a trad bow is adaptable to hunting situations, but I have to practice all year..lol

Get a AMS reel and a fish arrow and hit a few backwaters... killing fish at short range is fairly easy, and if you catch the carp spawn right, it's a target-rich environment. It's a great way to get a little live action with a tradbow, and you don't have to be the best shot to wade-shoot carp at 3 - 5 steps. I've got a nice one I'll sell you that is just sitting on a shelf in my closet....
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

The best thing about shooting traditional gear is The Rob can wear his loin cloth while shootin' his recurve and everyone acts like it's normal. But they do tend to look away if it's windy. Guess they don't like seeing that much "greatness".  Learning to shoot the recurve is teaching me things about how to shoot my compound better, which is making shooting my compound more fun.

Shooting a recurve is great excercise too. All that walking, looking for arras helps burn calories.

Sometimes I miss so badly I don't even attempt to find the arrow. I believe I've missed the earth a couple of times.

We may be talking about 2 different things. My blob is almost the size of the side of a shed. I’d always wanted one and AMB went and got a truckload of em last year. I got one of the extras.
