Man I admire your willingness to take on the challenge and to share with us how you're feeling about it. I can definitely relate to the second guessing feelings but hope you/we can trust yourself and let that go. I look forward to you updating this thread with your first stickbow kill, and don't beat yourself up if you decide to take the wheels out into the woods. It's your hunt, do what you want.
I'm making a similar debate because I don't feel like I have my omnia dialed in well enough to hunt with it yet. Part of me doesn't want to take my HC mini out hunting because I'm worried it might not "feel" the same but the rest of me is screaming "you'll still have a great time, what's the point owning it if ya don't use it, and those deers taste good!". I suppose that's a strange comparison to make on a trad thread. I'll get to trad hunting eventually as well, definitely need much more practice there to follow in your footsteps and I look forward to learning from your season this year when I do.
