Compound bow to Tradbow? 3 Tips for success!
Making the switch to a traditional bow- recurve or long bow is a lot easier than most people think- but you can't go into it with a struggle stick mentality. It's not a handicap.🏹 If you follow some simple steps! Have you made the switch and if so what really drew you?! (Insert Dad joke) to shooting a recurve or longbow?!! 🏹🦌 Comment below! ⬇️

I love the idea of the simplicity of trad archery over compounds. I still shoot my compounds simply because I’m still transitioning into trad archery. To me, there’s so much more grace in trad archery. The lines of a recurve or a longbow…I love to watch a well tuned arrow on its way to the target, whether it’s shot from a compound or a trad bow. Also, the quietness of the shot from a trad bow when everything is right between the arrow and the bow. Lastly, it seemed to be the natural progression after shooting pulley bows for so many years. I like getting in close to game and that’s foundational to me with trad archery tackle. I also believe using traditional tackle makes me a better hunter, which never really hurt anyone in my meager opinion. There’s so many reasons for me, but I’m likely to be accused of waxing poetic or just plain sappy, if I continue on. So I’ll just leave it where it’s at. 😁 Y’all have a great evening!

I wish!! Still in the high 80s here in the afternoons and low to mid-60s in the mornings. I’m jealous, lol
Tradbowhunter Ethical Predator How to become a better Bowhunter
Hunting with traditional archery gear requires skills to connect with not only the game you pursue but the very environments they live in. It is not about how far but about how close. Find your effective lethal range! make it your backyard and own it! What’s your effective lethal range? Where you are absolutely confident!! Leave a comment below!

I do the same thing…practice long yardage to improve my short game!

@Grant Richardson Way back in the 90s, lol…I was shooting competition 3Ds with a compound, I was never a champ but I had a lot of fun and I did win a little cash. I would average 3k to 4k arrows a summer just practicing. I would shoot 60 yds regularly in my back yard. That was all the range I had on my Toxonics “dial a prayer” sight. It really helped make those 45-48 yd (max) open class shots in competition seem like a chip shot. Practicing long has its advantages. It tells me a lot about my tuning and even more about my form, even with my trad bows.
Sticking with Tradition🦅

@Panda Sior Indeed! There’s nothing quite like experiential knowledge to set the foundation of any conversation. I had a supervisor who used to say, “It ain’t bragging if you can back it up. It then becomes a matter of fact.”

UPDATE: "Hunt The Hard Way T-Shirt" Orders 👕
Hey Folks! I wanted to give everyone an update - everyone's orders went to print and are being shipped out this week! Thanks again for everyone's patience, we had some logistic issue with our first run of shirts - special thanks to @Colton Deline @Wade Meyer @Stanley Sibinski for your patience! I hope you liked the gifts you received for having the delay on your shipments - I spoke to the team directly and all have been finally shipped! That said - with this 2nd run of shirts, we will just get better and better! Some good feedback was received - and we love feedback! A member saw one of our adds for our shirts on social media - and felt that we were misleading - as we were show casing our shirts as a limited run not available after the 7 day launch. In full transparency - my response: "we really appreciate the feedback & you are right that does not land well at all. The t-shirts are limited as we not sure how long we are going to run them. We had such a great response that we thought we should give them a run on Facebook too! It is just my hubby and I running this community & want to ensure we do it right. I am going to adjust the wording on the next t-shirt launch and lower the price for members only pricing. That said thanks so much for taking the time to send this message, because if you are thinking this, I am sure others might be too". So because of this great feed back - on our next t-shirt launch - We are going to give our members a discount on our t-shirts before we take our shirts to the public - who will pay at full price! Thanks again for everyone's feedback, we are creating something special here!

Mid-50s bowhunter, started out with compounds like many archers do. Always loved trad archery and finally bought a “couple” trad bows recently.
