lone wolf, im right where you are in traditional. i love not needing to align anything or bump any sights or rests. i agree that traditional is alot more fun. my dad says i cant sell my compound until ive hunted 1 entire deer season with a longbow or recurve. that shouldnt be hard. im practicing everyday for about a month. ive built a longbow and recurve. you should try building a bow. its fun to shoot and lots of accomplishment.
