Schultzy, I can understand and it's all good, I am only 32 so I grew up on compounds and the "newer" side of archery. I got into traditional gear to challenge myself and because it is so much more straight forward and a little bit more fun to me as far as just shooting. I don't have to worry about my release, which pin to use, is my sight level, don't creep, etc. etc . etc. But I also wasn't "brought up" on it so I could be missing something, here's one of my favorite pics from this season:
Nice looking recurve there New! Just to let you know I'm not that old myself, I'm only 33 and I grew up with the technology coming into play as well. I did shoot compound for 10 years and really liked it. I didn't use a release (didn't believe in them), let off was less than 65% on my XI Impact. It was allot of fun but it was time for a switch and it was the best thing I did. My dad has been shooting Traditional for 30+ years (recurve first and he now uses a Longbow). Switching over for me was easier then most being I had a great mentor!
