Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting traditional bowhunters

Been hunting with traditional stuff since the '60's. Carried a compound for 1 year in 1980, didn't care for it.

I make most all my equipment and hunt with a bamboo back and belly Maple longbow and an Osage static recurve. They work well as long as I stay within my effective shooting range, usually under 20 yards.

My wife, a couple of pals and myself have been putting on a Traditional Archery Pheasant Shoot for over 20 years, have about 65 folks showing up the past several years. Lots of fun and laughs, not many birds killed. Here's a link if you'd like to read about it. You can click on a tab in left hand corner for additional pictures.
