Traditional.I've always shot recurves and longbows.When I started bowhunting 27 years ago,I bought a compound because that's what everyone else used.I hunted with that for some time and had some success but never really felt comfortable with it,I didn't like the sights and the break over on the draw really bothered me so I went back to the recurves about10 or so years ago.Now I strictly shoot longbows.
