Anyone here shoot traditional...
...and if so, what is your shooting style...100% instinct, gap method, what??? I've been bowhunting for roughly 30 years with a compound, but I'm going traditional this year. Any advice? Right now I'm hitting my target about 50% of the time (with no real method)...the other 50% of shots are in a 10" circle around that (this is at 15 yards). I had a local guy custom make my bow and it's a hybrid between a long bow and a recurve. It's pulling around 70 lbs at my draw length of 29.5-30". Unfortunately, the bamboo laminate on the outside of my limbs cracked and split off yesterday, so the guy is making me a new bow. I've got quite a few questions, but I'll just start with this one right now...
Thanks!
Thanks!

I've been interested in picking up a 10" 44mag without the
shredder in it,or, any of the jdj's. Toy with the idea of some
kind of 17cal. Enjoy playing with the oddballs.????0 -
I shoot traditional, in fact I returned after playing with the so called modern bow for about ten years. I started shooting bow 1966 B.C., meaning before compounds....LOL
I shoot instinctive, although, many people get hung up on labels. I am not aware of the tip of my arrow when I shoot, nor am I aware of yardage.
It is a simpler way to shoot, and I find myself enjoying my time afield much more than before. Oh, I keep the freezer filled with those old stick and strings.0 -

pingjockey...I am definitely still interested in that bow if you still have it. I just need to get you what you are looking for. I'm not working right now, outside of our small gun shop...if you are not in a tremendous hurry, I'll figure something out. Thanks![:)] 0 -

I'd like to learn from someone like yourself. I first start shooting a recurve in the 70's...and almost immediately graduated to a compound. I need the old school fellas to school me.0 -
Eric,
I'm not in any hurry at all, in fact I have to get it out of storage in a couple of weeks when I head up to Kamiah to do some fencing. I'll get your address and ship it up to you and you can see
how it feels for you.

Don,
I'd be mighty appreciative...sounds like it might be a good fit.
I'm not real sure about this hybrid I had made. I cannot seem to shoot it with any kind of real consistency. Sometimes I'm hitting dead on and other times, I'm way off.0 -
Eric, check this out, a guy from tradgang. He shoots pretty good.
