I have been hunting with my longbow most of the week. And can tell you, the difference is, I need to practice alot to be deadly with my longbow. In fact, most of the time, I like to evening hunt with my longbow, so I can practice before I go hunting. If I take off 3 weeks or so, it takes me days to get hitting again.

Also, I need deer to be 18 yards or so or less. Thats my personal limit.

But last night I was sitting in a thicket on the ground hunting, and notice alot of advantages to using trad, like position of shot, and speed of shot. Both eyes open, etc.
