I started bow hunting in 1972. My first bow was a #45 recurve. Got a couple deer with that bow using bear razor heads. When I first tried a compound I was more accurate because of the sight pins and my groups got smaller. And my range that I would shoot at a deer went from 20 to 30 yards. I never hunted with my recurve again. But I did not realize that I had abandoned traditionalism.

The story talks about hunting being ruined by non traditional ' equipment' and ' gear' .

I guess I gave up traditionalism when I started using climbing treestands, trail cameras, modern camo, scent killer spray, topo maps and aerial photos.
