It all boils down to confidence for me. Last year I made a pretty good effort to try and take a doe with trad gear with a max range of 15 yds. On top of that I 100% ground hunted with it. Got one shot and missed. (She ducked)

This year,I already feel I will be much more prepared to enter the woods this fall confident and accurate. Time will tell. It's too early to make a decision. One day I want to be completely ready and ONLY take my longbow afield. The next day I want to buy a new ROSS cardiac too I will trad hunt come fall, its just a matter of what %.
