I just gotta enter this one !

Compounds are a very easy way to get into archery season. The technology they bring to the table enables the vast majority of bowhunters to easily aquire shooting skills to go bowhunting. Its a challenge from gun hunting for sure though, regardless of how good the equipment makes you shoot. Compound shooters can realisticlly take animals to 40-50 yards and beyond.

Recurves/longbows/selfbows are another breed. Without high letoffs, fancy rests, sights and mechnical releases ... and a whole lot slower in arrow speed and power, they are a whole 'nother critter. They take lots of practice for most people to get good enough at even 15-20 yards. Huge difference ? OH YEAH ! Tougher to take game with ? Yes, it is.

Thats not to diss compound hunters, just making obvious statements about the different kinds of equipment. Its easier to kill animals with a rifle than a compound, so too is it with a compounds than a longbow/recurve.

Shoot what you want, hit what you aim at and enjoy your hunting. When it gets a bit dull, take a step in the other direction and try the next step of challenge, be it muzzleloader, pistol, compounds, crossbow, longbow recurve of self bow.

Don't women ride this way?


I really don't know where you get off pushing your style of hunting, if you actually do, on anyone else.

I shoot a compound and don't consider it be have training wheels.

I also shoot a recurve.

I'd like to try hunting with a longbow one day but it'll be when I decide to do it, not when someone named nativestickbowman tells me to.......

And by the way, I'm part Choctaw.

I have all the respect for you trad guys - never nocked the way you hunt.

I would like to get into shooting a recurve - I have no desire to hunt with one though - never did.

I would much rather try my best at shooting mature bucks with my "training wheels"

Than to go out and plink does and dinks with a recurve - no matter how hard you guys say it is.

Diff. strokes for...................

I like that high tech computer that you are using to spread the message of being traditional. And tell me that these great legends that you are nameing wouldn't possibly have used the gear avaiable to us now. And if you truly are a native american as you are portraying. I beleive that the elders would be greatly dissapointed in you. As the true native american beleifs are those of acceptance. Obviously you are not looking at all sections of the wheel or you would be learning from those who are on the opposite side of the wheel. I am glad that you are so confident in your abililities but talk is cheap and actions are louder than words. By your actions you are stuck in the south and not advancing to the west very fast. Then again there are many of us who never have a balanced wheel. The greatest that we all have learned from is Ishi. Why are you naming those of non indian heritage. After all Saxton Pope learned from Ishi. This foolish talk is a disgrace to all that have held on to the native culture. And yes, I am proud of my heritage also in which a third of the nation fell on the trail to Oaklahoma. That was then and this is now. All we have to hang on to is the old ways that are being disgraced by foolish trash talk.

Hey jag-mag,

If we was using a spear from a pony.....would that make it a lance?

Maybe you haven't noticed... It's kinda hard to send smoke signals over the internet.

Fred Bear said he was sorry he ever touched a compound. Howard Hill wouldn't even shoot a recurve, much less a compound. Jerry Hill... How the hell did his name get mixed up in that crowd? He's no archery great. He's just a guy that puts together third rate copies of his uncle's design.
