Just got back into it the last few months. Used to shoot traditional a lot in the 80s and 90s but had been compound only for the last 25 years or so. My son started shooting with the NAS team and though they shoot compound it is all instinctive shooting so I dusted off the old Bear Kodiak hunter and starts shooting with him. Really got into it and ordered a new Bear Super Kodiak and am shooting it now. Didn’t get a chance to sling on at a deer this year and only made a couple hunts with it but am going to make a bigger commitment to hunting traditional next season. Set up a 3D range in the pasture along with the NAS targets and It is WAY more fun shooting traditional archery than a compound for sure.

I shoot trad almost exclusively. Start with a lower poundage bow. I have killed with my Bear Kodak Special that I shoot 3D with and it’s only 40 pounds. Plenty enough to kill a deer. I shoot several different longbows and recurves when hunting. Just work on technique. Shoot 5 to 10 yards at the start to to get good form. Go to The leatherwall” on the net. Learn ALOT from them, good dudes. Have fun and shoot some 3D shoots.
