Thats what its all about BHF!! I've been shooting recurves for 30 years to be exact and I'm going on 13 years of bow hunting strictly with a recurve. I haven't picked up a compound for hunting in 13 years and I don't miss it one bit, thats the way I am. There's allot of satisfaction when taking an animal with no gadgets, it really makes ya feel good!! Everyone has there own way of hunting, mines Traditional and it will never change. Whatever works for you, good luck to the new Traditional hunters!!
