I see NO reason for me to take my Compound back into the woods, I enjoy shooting my Longbow that much!!! The first few hunts when I had my longbow in hand and had deer "just" out of range, I thought, damn, I could of killed that with the compound. Now with 1 full season under my belt hunting with a Longbow only, I made my adjustments and my compound never enters my mind! I shoot my bow everyday because I want to, that never happened when I was shooting a compound, I had to force myself to shoot, got boring quickly! I just found out that this "traditional" way of life is for me! To each his own, hunt with what ever weapon ya want to that makes YOU happy, I do!
