Was there once, I sucked...LOL wasn't for me. I have several older recurves and longbows, more decor than use....I'll own one again, will I hunt with it? Don't know, if I'm tagged out on a buck, I might take it for doe but I am too much of a compound junkie. Many people have no business picking up a traditional bow, I once was one and know it, it takes more dedication, practice and respect than many give to it. They are wannabees and I really respect those that can get it done that way, consistantly...I admire guys like that. Again, some just pretend.
