How long did it take you to become proficient at it?
For me, probably about a year. However, the beautiful think about shooting this way is that you will keep getting better for years. It's a real challenge. I went with traditional, because when I was young, this is the way I shot. I went with compound for a long time, but to tell you the truth, it was just no fun for me anymore. Went back to the longbow and have not looked back.
I have thought about trying to learn many times but am afraid I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
If you're thinking about doing it, then do it! You know you will sooner or later. Then after a while you'll ask yourself, "why didn't I do this sooner?".
It seems to have so many advantages, no sight, no peep, ability to get a qucker shot off, low light conditions not being a problem.
exactly!
I'm assuming you don't have to shoot traditional equipment right?
Right, it'll work with compounds also.
Get the book that I mentioned above.
