Traditional Archery

My thoughts….

The definition of traditional archery and the act of traditional bowhunting often means something different to each individual. To me, the idea of pursuing your quarry on a level field with only stick and string and without the latest technology or gadget to have the edge is the ultimate challenge in bowhunting.

I can remember the first time I picked up and shot a recurve…it was a Martin Dreamcatcher that was receiving little attention at one of the local archery shops/ranges. Just for fun, I thought I’d try something different, then had an extremely hard time putting it down after shooting for an hour and a half.The next week I had my compound sold and was shooting a recurve.

Since then, my newly developed passion has led me to pursue white-tailed deer, mule deer, antelope, wild boar, moose, caribou, black bear and small game. Also, I’ve had the honor of being in Traditional Bowhunter Magazine, in the Aug/Sept, 2003 and 2008 issues.

Up to now, this passion has led me on an incredible journey where I’ve seen many wonderful things and have met many wonderful people. I plan on continuing this adventure with my children as they grow, and I look forward to new hunting travels and new friendships.
