RE: Can you ever go back?
why are you in the woods Double Creek ? why are you hunting ?
if its to kill big bucks every year - use a rifle and high tech compounds - those will give you the best chances to bring home the horn porn
if you're hunting for more than killing big antlers though ..... then no, traditional hunting IS bowhunting, compounds and crossbows and the like isn't real bowhunting.
and I don't mind being a snobbish elitist in saying it

RE: Can you ever go back?
I see the original post was from March last year.
DC has your shoulder improved any???????
I herniated 2 disks in my neck about the then and have not been able to shoot a compound without pain since.
But I can shoot trad gear all day without pain.
Do what you have to do to keep the joy of hunting.

So...... After all that belly aching For you guys that have 100% dedicated yourself to traditional archery.. Is there any going back to compounds other than medical reasons?

Like BC, im a tweener, and see no problem with that at all. Comments that are made such as stealthycatII has said are just rediculous. Nothing personal, I just do not agree with your point of view. Sure it may not be as difficult to shoot an accurate group with the wheels, but it sure is just as fun (to me anyways). Maybe one dayI will get bored with it, but I doubt it. I dont this of it as a baseball vs softball point of view, more like baseball vs basketball. Two totally different animals. Which ever I decide to do depends only on the mood that I am in that particular day!

RE: Can you ever go back?
I think I posted this before in a different thread.
I never had a compound until last year. I joined aorganization that culls overpopulated deer from suburban subdivisions, year round. Their requirement is compound or crossbow ONLY! I shot my first 2 deer this year with it. I felt like I was cheating. I wish I could use my trad bows, if I could I'd not ever have a compound.
I wouldn't go back if I had a choice but I'm not giving up year round hunting on account of it.
