Not hunting with it this year. I expect I'll hold my own. Me vs. does.....I wouldn't bet against me!

RE: 1st 6 arrows out of the new bow....
It's just totally different. The only thing you have is your technique (which I'm sure needs work).....and your God given abilities/imagination. You see a spot.....feel it.....and release.
No pins/peeps/etc...
That's the aspect I find I like. I feel like I've always been good with hand/eye things.....and this is SO MUCH like golf.....(I've been saying that a long time....but it's especially true about trad shooting....if you asked me).....it's scary.
Time will tell if I get proficient enough to hunt .....but I feel like I'm gonna take to it, nicely. We'll see.

I think I see arrow #6 sticking in a headstone.

RE: 1st 6 arrows out of the new bow....
Jeff, lookin good already bud! you just might be my inspiration. even before buying my bow last summer, i always thought shooting a longbow, making wooden arrows etc would be plain fun...and accuracy would come with time and practice. its on my list of things to do...but that list is mighty long lol. definently not this summer...maybe next. i think if i get into that, Dad will get into it with me...he used to shoot a compound back in the day. i hear stories of how he was a great bowhunter from guys that dont even know me...he shot fingers, no peep or anything etc...it would be nice to get back into something with good ole dad. since i turned 16 our time together has diminished...our schedules just dont meet up. he been sayin hed like to get into shooting a recurve or long bow...heck i even ordered some Trad catalogs to try to entice him lol...
keep with it Jeff...i will be here to root ya on...just like the turkey with a bow!

I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way. I just think everyone ought to try it (trad) IF....if they ever thought they might. It's a different animal.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
