Bobco,
The trad bows never made it out of the yard. Yes originally there were dreams of grandeur to try and take an elk with the recurve, but those thoughts quickly faded out to my reality of needing every chance possible to connect on my first elk. I plan to hunt elk the rest of my life, and I'll get my day with the trad gear when the time is right. Time and a place, this was just not it yet.

The above picture of us shooting for the afternoon, was as special a memory as any on the entire trip.
