A couple of pictures from this weekend from one of my other passions that has a lot of connections to my traditional archery journey. I have been fly fishing for nearly 40 years. About eight years ago I discovered Tenkara and haven’t looked back. It is a method of fly fishing that uses a fixed length line (think single string) and no reel (think no wheels). It is extremely well suited to the small mountain streams I like to fish. One of the other aspects that links it to traditional archery is you have to get close and really think about your presentation set up because of the fixed length line.

So did some shooting unknown distance both right and left handed. So second picture is first round the left handed is the Easton legacy arrow. And the right out the micro black eagle. 1 st picture is top circle is left handed and right handed bottom dot center on big circle

Celebrated by 36th Birthday this week and finally the weather improved. I received a new buck target and got to fling some arrows. Theres always that one arrow...

My name is Jenn Richardson, my husband, Grant Richardson and I created this group, TradBowhunter - Ethical Predator. We are from Ontario, Canada, I have had a love for the outdoors since I was little. My grandfather being a conservation officer in the United States and my other grandfather a trapper here in Ontario. I have been in Law Enforcement for over 26yrs, love the outdoors, marketing and business so decided to put all three together! This is a passion piece for Grant and I...My hubby being the subject matter expert with Traditional Bowhunting as well as an author, podcast host and 3rd generation traditional bowhunter. We wanted to bring like minded people together and create a place to share their experiences with traditional bowhunting. ----------------- Hey folks! Grant Richardson here - about myself... I was raised in a hunting family. I have Bowhunted with traditional gear all my life and started shooting bows when I was 3. I've been able to hunt all over North America and along the way this past 40 plus years hunting with trad gear I have learned that success is born not from tech or the latest camo but from long cold days in the woods and often- failure. Bows and arrows were always a part of my life and I was lucky to have an upbringing that emphasized time in the woods. I was able to see both the rise of Bowhunting in Ontario and the laws and regulations based on ethics & conservation formed- But - also to see them fall apart to an Industry that focused on the latest and newest tech or gadgets to bring wild game home and not the skillsets I was raised to respect and follow. The very fabric of those primitive weapon/Bowhunting seasons was based on the fact that it was harder to take game with a bow and arrow- simply that it was difficult- but there is the truth that many forgot or perhaps never learned. The Ethical Predator was created from those lessons learned all my life. I helped create this community seeing a need to bring folks from all over the world into a community that supported the old ways, from scouting, tracking & the heritage of Bowhunting I grew up with.
