Love the looks of the Widow. I bought my first one 35 yrs ago. I shoot with a lot of guys with high tech stuff and cant shoot as well on a course but I guarantee they don't have as much fun as a bunch of trad guys on a course. The first kill w/a bow for me was at a family reunion @ about 11 yrs of age.. Made a perfect shot on a robin and it raced right thru the picnic area of folks. I was ecstatic but no one else saw the humor in it. I lost my bow for awhile.Great pics everyone! Here's a few of my trad deer kills - some while using saddle some not - I've also taken turkey and hogs with the trad bow...Pulling these pics together for this thread tells me I need to do better taking good pics of all my kills and keep them in a safe place - a lot of my kills were before the iCloud existed or I had access to it lol....

Awesome kill! May I ask were you hunting out of a blind with that 60" bow? If so what brand? If not that is an even greater accomplishment. Either way great job.
THEY ARE FUN TO SHOOT AND WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER HUNTER!!This is so cool.
Just for curiosity sake, is there anything that a traditional bow beats a compound bow on? Other than being more challenging, which is good.

One time, the little stub of a branch that I had my recurve hanging on broke and the bow fell 18 feet to the ground. I climbed down, carefully checked it and took a couple test draws.This is so cool.

So what you're saying is these are really good bows for clumsy old farts. Got it. I still have some time...
Yep, and this old fart will bowhunt until I can no longer draw my recurve. Then I will use a camera.Hey now.....My kids might think I'm old but, @Allegheny Tom has a couple decades on me at least.
No what we are saying is you must be a better hunter to use traditional....You still have some time to get there lol lol .....So what you're saying is these are really good bows for clumsy old farts. Got it. I still have some time...
