I’m not a purist. Hunted with a compound this year. I hunted recurve for years but some shoulder issues curtailed that. Picked up another recurve a few months ago with lower poundage . Sure enjoy shooting it.

Can’t say I’m much of a trad hunter as I’ve only actually hunted with one a few times. I do really enjoy shooting one and pretending I’m going to hunt, though. It’s a fun and frustrating hobby lol

I got into it the last few years. Had some success. I love it. Wish I had started sooner.

Used to shoot trad exclusively, got me a caribou with my longbow but never really mastered it and am old and can’t handle the weight anymore. Great fun to shoot traditionally.

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.
