Default Traditional

I have really been through the gambit on bows and equipment, I am 59 yrs young and started shooting a fiberglass longbow when I was seven. There is a lot of information on the internet and from numerous people but my recommendation, find a bow you like the look of in the poundage you need for hunting and start shooting. Arrow builds or buys need to be tuned to the bow for sure, as you learn your bow try many different arrows to see what fits best, I build my own as I like a larger spine for my hunting.
Most of all shoot, shoot, shoot, at all distances and at all sizes of target and in all weather conditions. The more you shoot the better you get, period.
Enjoy your traditional bow and remember if it breaks in the bush can you fix it?
On a foot note the last high tech bow I had was an Oneida Eagle, so it has been a long time with cams and pullies out of the equation.
