So I can easily look at you and say hey, you know what ? Drop the training wheels, leave the triggers and sights and letoff behind and if you want to be a real archer, learn to dedicate enough time to mastering the recurve/longbow. Go with cedars and broadheads you have to file sharpen yourself - EARN the right to call yourself a bowhunter.
NO WAY!!
Like I said, I started out with a long bow and then a recurve........sorry but too hard and I just don't have the time needed to become good enough to hunt with it. I like to shoot them and still do, but only for fun. No I will keep my compound bow. It has served me well and I happen to like all of the bells and whistles that they come with.
