[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1025755, member: 10291"] I have been a fanatic, traditional archer for over four decades. When I started it wasn't called "traditional" archery. Shot a Howard Hill longbow for about 25 years, currently shoot a Schafer Silvertip recurve. For me it's at the other end of the spectrum from LR rifle hunting and offers a different, but equivalent challenge and addiction that can last a lifetime. While I did shoot one deer with a compound back in 1979, it didn't appeal to me, still doesn't. Depending on the size of the quarry, shots with a stickbow are generally under 50 yards, with 20 yards or less, typical. Stealth and shooting proficiency are the primary skills. My longest kill on a whitetail was 43 yards, rabbit at 47 yards. [/QUOTE]
