Default Traditional Archery hunting

Curious to see how many of you guys/gals on here have been successful hunting with a trad bow? Post pics and stories!

Buying my first recurve tomorrow will probably take years before I'm ready to hunt with it lol

I've got about 20 big game animals with traditional equipment. It works.

Contact the Alberta traditional bowhunters association if you want to meet more people who use stick and string. We have a good shoot in August...

Used a recurve a friend made for me and cedar arrows I made myself for years and had great success. But there was lots of game in those years.

I have been lucky enough to get a bear and a whitetail with my long bow.
If you happen to be in the Grande Prairie area we have our trad shoot happening tomorrow. Good chance to come out and have some fun while getting great practice.
