We'll see, next year. I'm gonna shoot trad a LOT, next year. I'll say it again....location, location, location. I live in a target-rich environment....and I'll get my chances.

Edit: Also....let's not forget the fact that MOST trad shooters (I am the exception.....being a novice to bowhunting, altogether) I know have gone the wheelie bow route and have migrated (for whatever reason) to the trad equipment. In "most" cases....I think (my opinion) you're likely dealing with a different class of hunter (in terms of experience) when you lump the trad guys separately from the compound guys. In MY eyes....it would stand to reason that there wouldn't be much of a gap in their success rates.....EVEN THOUGH....the trad equipment limits one's chances to a (_________) degree.

JUST my opinion.....
