Every one play NICE now. Whyyyyyyyy..... ahhh .... eerrrrr.... some of my best friends shoot trad.[:-][&:] By the way.. have you noticed that in their quest to get down to the basics ..... they hardly ever spell the complete word.

Nobody ever said that - at least I didn't. But there IS a weapons difference in the two types of bows.

Because we know attrocities of the compound bow, because anyone who shoots one of those montrosicites ia a low, life, good for nothing ... . oh, I just can't do it ! Compound don't tick me off, neitehr do crossbows or spears. I have seen the door sway both ways, from "we're better" to "we don't wound as many animals" etc etc. But those who say that compounds are not very different are hugely WRONG.


Then why use a compound and not a recurve ? Uhhhhh, because the compounds is easier and increases the chance of kill. Nothing wrong with that, but its a TRUE.

Another absolute TRUE. Why are 3D stakes closer for trad shooters ?

I think thats a true simply because trad shooters love to shoot at anything from leaves to pop cans to deer. Stump shooting is a blast - don't see many compounders doing that. But theres bad apples in every groups, and good ones too. This cannot be proven one way or the other.


Vast majority of archers use compound - I'd LOVE to see ya'll answer WHY THAT IS ??


Absolutely nothing wrong with that at all. but if you hunted one season with a recurve, limiting yourself to 10 yard shots and bagged a 170" whitetail ... wouldn't that be a great accomplishment ? Of course a rifle killed buck that size would be too, or a muzzleloader, and a compound kill especially would be ... but a recurve kill at 10 yards ? Even sweeter. Jump on its back and stab it to death with a Leatherman and you've reached the Holy Grail of hunting

Trad or compound, who cares. If you were REALLY good you could just throw your arrows at em'

"...shooting the way it should be--instinctivly with a stickbow, to eliminate all the problems gadgets and doo dads. As our forefounding fathers of archery and the american indians that wich a kept things rather simple. Heres a few names you might recognize, lets start with uh, The Freds, Fred Bear and Fred Asbell, uh, Howard and Jerry HIll...

Someone please tell NativeStickBowPonyRiderSaysUhTooManyTimes that he should probably look for a new hero. Howard Hill was a lot of things, but...uh...an instinctive archer...uh...wasn't one of them...uh.

"DING, DING, DING, LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!"


Sure. But you might want to stop leading with your chin. [&:]

Aurther P, I use a corncob once a week whether it needs it or not. And no, on recurve nights I take a cab. Have a great day.

I believe everyone of us pursues the sport for their own reasons. If your preference is traditional equipment then more power to you. I don't have the skills to head in that direction.
