I have considered it. I believe I would like to take down at least 2-3 more 3.5+ year old bucks with my compound before I start switching over. Since I killed my first "older" buck this year I know that I am not good enough to switch over to a traditional bow just yet.

But I will switch over, I know it. That has been my progression as a hunter...rifles to shotguns to muzzeloaders...then I started hunting half and half guns and bows...then bow only the last 4-5 years. So hunting exclusively with a traditional bow is going to be my natural evolution. I would give myself another 2-3 years probably. Heck I have one hanging in my garage that is beautiful. I just need to practice with it. Maybe if began shooting well with it, then I would gain the confidence that I need to switch over. The method of the hunt is very important to me. I could see myself being very satisfied hunting with a traditional bow.
