I don't mind not being cool. Actually, I take it as a badge of honor. LOLOnly one advice, stay away from those recurve snobs, all the cool saddle hunters use longbow, you want to be cool right?
This is what people will see in their head when you tell them that you hunt using a longbow from a saddle.

Great list of resources.One stop shop? The Push Archery. Tom Clum’s Solid Archery Program. Joel Turners Shot IQ. Set yourself up for success from the start and ingrain proper mechanics and shot process. Beyond that…shoot everyday, have fun with it and always end your shooting session on a good shot.
You can get a couple new Stalkers for the cost of some of the new compounds. The beauty of a stickbow is when you get one that works for you, you can shoot it for decades and never feel the need to change.Thanks guys. This is liable to cost me more than shooting compounds.

Or $300 dozen arrows. $39 a dozen for what I shoot. $50-60 will buy a lifetime of string material. And you simply cant put a price on how better of a hunter it will make you.And you don’t need a $300 sight and a $300 release….
My setups this year are soooooooooo much better bc of it. I wish I could rewind.Or $300 dozen arrows. $39 a dozen for what I shoot. $50-60 will buy a lifetime of string material. And you simply cant put a price on how better of a hunter it will make you.
I cry now when I accidentally launch an arrow into the abyss. Rip TKO’s ain’t cheap.Or $300 dozen arrows. $39 a dozen for what I shoot. $50-60 will buy a lifetime of string material. And you simply cant put a price on how better of a hunter it will make you.
Not hating on having multiple bows at all but there is a strong element of truth in the age old statement...Fear the man with one bow or gun or whatever weapon. Not posting that to imply anyone should dump all their bows except one but when it comes to killin stuff, the more time you spend with A bow, the more deadly you will be with that bow.So I'm actually going against the crowd in this argument. Trad bow gears have actually been more expensive for me then compound world. But this is by choice, which I think just depend on each individual. I never had more then 3 compound bows at any one time; main hunting, a backup, and a lower poundage for fun in the yard. If I get bored with a particular bow or sight, I have no problem selling it to fund a replacement. But right now I have 8 (I think?) trad bows and I'm constantly on the look out for my next one and don't plan on selling any that I have.
Someone on this forum told me once "Life is to short to shoot ugly bows!", I am fully on that train of thought!
Look at Creek Walker Trading quiver start at $275!
Money is there to be spend in quality and customization.
No offense taken. Your view is actually a cold hard truth that I understand in my head, but choices not to listen in my heart. Fact is if we all only use one bow, we will all be better at it.Not hating on having multiple bows at all but there is a strong element of truth in the age old statement...Fear the man with one bow or gun or whatever weapon.
