With a lever bowTed Nugent has been shooting that way for years...
I had a cousin (RIP) that shot his compound bare bow. Indoor rounds, outdoor rounds, walk thu, or hunting...he was an incredible shot. He often shot in the 560s of 600 round.Ted Nugent has been shooting that way for years...
Tom you’re getting old, you already told that story in this same thread a month ago haha!I'm a recurve shooter and haven't shot compounds barebow, but I had a cousin (now deceased) that shot compounds barebow and he was phenomenal. Indoor 600 round, he often broke 560s. He hammered walk thru coarses, too. On game, he was deadly. He double lunged an exotic ram once at 65 yards. He was a face walker for his aiming method.
No doubt.Tom you’re getting old, you already told that story in this same thread a month ago haha!
I can relate . . . I think.No doubt.
I've not always been kind to my brain cells.
The 1970s were fun...wish I could remember them.

I shot an old Bear Magnum Hunter for years with fingers. (I did use a sight though) I took my very first deer with it, that story here: https://saddlehunter.com/community/...wkward-yet-successful-hunts.25112/post-354650Im just not consistent enough with the recurve. Plus it kills my elbow and shoulder. For some reason the issues aren’t there so much with the compound. Probably the letoff. So much more fun this way than sights and release for me. I was getting to the point that I had to make myself go practice. Now I don’t want to stop. I’m not going back to sights and releases.
Nice. BTW, I hope you aren't leaving those bows leaning like that for an extended period of time. Leaning a trad bow can cause the bottom limb to develop a twist.

I also got my first robin hood with that setup. I am switching to a traditional bow from a compound because the compound is killing my shoulder where my longbow doesn't seem to bother me at all. I think it's the let-off of the compound that's bothering my shoulder. Funny how that works.

That's good to know...thanks. I would like to say that they just gathered around to get their picture taken but, they're actually waiting there for me to build them a rack to hang from.Nice.
