Next step in bowhunting?
 

The whole - "Where do you see bows being at in 10 years" - thread got me thinking... (which is dangerous to say the least)

How many people see their own upcoming, "advancement", in bowhunting as taking a step back and going down the more difficult Traditional road?

In other words, how many of you are seriously planning on going down the traditional road in the future?

I am already planning on getting into traditional archery. I have a couple recurves that I plan on getting strings and arrows for and hopefully start shooting this spring.

i see myself atleast OWNING and shoot recurves and long bows...which leads to me hunting with them..

when?? tough to say. right now im in college so i dont have the time to devote to it..atleast to be good enough to hunt with one...but down the road, i definently see myself getting into it.

got into hunting with a flintlock rifle...i absolutely love it...

Was there once, I sucked...LOL wasn't for me. I have several older recurves and longbows, more decor than use....I'll own one again, will I hunt with it? Don't know, if I'm tagged out on a buck, I might take it for doe but I am too much of a compound junkie. Many people have no business picking up a traditional bow, I once was one and know it, it takes more dedication, practice and respect than many give to it. They are wannabees and I really respect those that can get it done that way, consistantly...I admire guys like that. Again, some just pretend.

Both good answers

Mauser - out of curiousity, what kind of flintlock do you hunt with, I'm looking into getting one sometime soon.

I would love to get into traditional archery, but as of right now, I don't have the money or the time to learn it, but I do plan on getting into it in the future.

NO WAY!! I want every advantage I can get!! I have an old recurve I made in shop class in High School, a LOOOOOOONG time ago. I get it out and shoot it once in a while, but I would never even think about hunting with it.

People need to take thier training wheels off their bow and hunt.

There was talk here in PA about legalizing hunting with an Atlatl.

Now that would be traditional.

Does that mean you are For or Against hunting with traditional gear? Concise is good my friend.
