Hi Nomad, I am a traditionalist by heart. I shoot the Bighorn Ram Hunter Longbow, before that I shot the Black Widow MAII Recurve. Before that I shot a Browning Wasp and before that a Herters recurve bow. I did the compound thing for awhile but started picking up bad habits like target panic. The bowfishing doesn't cause this for me becausse it is a lot of snap shooting and a lot less aiming. Everything is done instinctive so the two work well together for me.

Been with the trad equipment for a number of years now. Bought a hybrid longbow from a guy here in Wa a few yrs back and use it for both fish and game...man's gotta do...

 

[kuger]

Yes,I am.Not for fishin though.For deer I use a compound,but for Elk,lions and Bears,I use a Take down recurve,Bighorn,Black Widow,or a Paul Shaffer

 

[wheelie]

I shoot recurves both for fishing and for hunting. Someday hope to get a long bow. Got way to many bows to shoot now as it is. Sold two compounds a couple weeks ago. May get rid of a couple crossbows next. Got to make room for the 2 vintage crossbows I have coming in this week.

 

[Gar-Git-R Charters]

For 20 years. Currently hunt with a River's Edge Recurve. Bowfish with a Mamba.

Yeah guys i'm hanging the compound up.Todays compounds are so advanced that its really no diff. than taking a gun.

 

[Texas Two Guns]

yeah I hunt with a PSE Impala. Haven't seen the need to upgrade yet.
Shoot fish with a compound though. Weird, huh?

 

[NOMAD]

Ooops, I still shoot a compound on fish. Guess I'm not 100% Trad yet.

yeah it was hahahaha.....especailly an eastern yote.....i educated quite a few before i was actually able to put a cedar arrow in one from the ground. The day i shot that one in the picture i actually missed two others. I was lucky with that one...he actually made the mistake of stopping at 15 yards. Rarely have i ever had one actually "stop" moving.

Thats really doing something,I never have called one in and killed it with a bow,but have shot a few from the stand,surprised up on a couple stalking something else or shot them with my dogs......not easy!!!

 

[Gar-Git-R Charters]

Best critter I've killed to date with mine was a Booner Black Bear in '96. Measured 21 11/16" and dressed out at 440#.

 

[Gargod]

Little piggie I got in January with a Bob Lee Classic TD longbow...52# @ 28",550 gr.Axis FMJ with 160 gr.4 blade Zwickey.

 

[finman]

I hunt strickly traditional...using a Bob Lee Hunter recurve or a custom take-down longbow. However, I use an Oneida Osprey for bowfishing. It feels like a traditional bow but has more kinetic engery. I bet you'll love your new bow. Recurves are great for bowfishing, but with snap shooting you don't get full poundage out of them.
