RE: My traditional journey..
I remember when you started. I started about the same time, but you advanced much quicker. We were both exchanging ideas. Both trying to figure out what bow would work for us.
You have a fine resume for trad hunting. But I have also came to the problem you have. My son was born in April. And I managed to shoot 3 times a week. Managed to hunt 3-4 times a week. But it came with a price. My wife is little bent over the hunting. Bent over the 1000's of arrows I fire off in the back yard. And next year I don't see me able to keep up this practice schedule I had. And that bothers me. And like you, I require at least 200 arrows of practice a week to be proficient.
Good post. I have only shot does. But you have a nice buck, and nice pig. You done well
