I shot compounds for 12 years. One summer I picked my mid 1990's bow up and shot really, really well and thought, damn, there is really no challenge to shooting this anymore (and todays compounds wax the compound I was shooting then). So the challenge of archery shooting was gone, I didn't even like it anymore.

And then I got a longbow. WHOA ! One arrow out of 20 going where I wanted it to. Focus, release, hold, stance, ... man if it wasn't ont thing it was another! And then every now and then that one shot hitting that coke can - wow, what a great feeling ! I loved archery again, I shoot all the time because I like it, and I still aint that good of a shot !
