    2023-24 Trad Kills

    I have pasted the link below. They are not very durable but they are sharp and really inexpensive. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154385626253?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=WhLdNgPmRT6&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=_RHsaLa5Qba&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Lighted Nock Issues

    I have been wanting to shoot some lighted arrow nocks with my longbow set up. I purchased some nocturnal universal fit nocks that fit my gold tip warrior shafts. In bare shaft tuning, the shafts with the lighted nocks are showing very erratic flight while my normal gold tip nocks are flying...

    For trad, how high is too high for good shooting angle?

    When I switched to trad 6 years ago I came to the same realization that you are now. I was just like you, I loved to hunt 25+ with my compound and it quickly became clear that would not work for me with trad gear. I find that I prefer that my feet be between 12 to 14 ft high and I definitely...

    2023-24 Trad Kills

    I got a little 8pt yesterday with my longbow. Definitely my best year so far with traditional gear. I should probably start being a little more selective on bucks but it is hard with the longbow. Fourth deer with the Simmons Tree shark and I am sold. They work great and I am only shooting a 43lb...

    2023-24 Trad Kills

    Got a couple big nannies with the longbow yesterday out of the saddle. For everyone out there struggling with a traditional, don't get discouraged. I had a terrible year last year and wounded more deer than I care to share. I was really considering giving up traditional. This year I am 3 for 4...

    I was blessed to get my 10th traditional bowkill a few days ago. First deer with a Simmons Treeshark.

    Good youth bow for 9 year old?

    Usually a 9-year-old can pull a 25lb bow because there draw length is short. That will give them a little more time before they outgrow it. Most of the cheap three-piece recurves are pretty nice for the cost.

    Collapsing an Age-Old Myth

    For most of my hunting life I have heard hunters talk about the “No Zone” on deer. They are referring to the supposed gap between the lungs and the spine which when hit with a bow leads to unrecovered deer. I bought into this theory for a while and I still see respected hunters claiming it is...

    Let's talk liver shot deer

    Phopkins and redsquirrel are exactly right. Not all liver hits are created equal. I have seen them die quick and I have seen them live for 12 hours. I tracked a tiny doe my buddy center punched the liver on and after an hour and a half it was still alive and alert. We finished it off and could...

    That....arrow look really slow or am I missing something?

    He has admitted for years that his setup is very slow. In some of his videos he jokes about being able to run and beat the arrow to the target. He doesn't care about speed. Heavy arrows significantly quiet down the shot which in theory should help a bit to minimize the deers reaction. As with...

    Traditional bow kills 2022/2023 season.

    I know teeth aging is not real acurate but based off the wear I say she is pretty old.

    Discouragement and Realistic Expectations

    I made a good shot on this doe last night at 3 yards. Thanks for all the feedback. Im going to keep working on my shooting and my mental game.

    Traditional bow kills 2022/2023 season.

    After a rough start to the season I finally made a good shot on this doe last night. She might be my biggest doe ever. She weighed 130lbs dressed. Im thankful I got her. My first deer with my Bear Ausable 64" 39#@28.

    Discouragement and Realistic Expectations

    I appreciate all this feedback but no one has offered what they think is a realistic kill to shot ratio. Id like to hear from someone who has killed 50 or more trad deer or trad hunted for 15 plus years. Also I use an aiming system if anyone was wondering.
