Enjoyment of traditional

In life you have many journeys and many ups and downs. But through all it is about embracing every moment.

So my archery journey started with compound but after finally harvesting my first deer with my compound I was missing something. It was I wanted something more basic.

My father in law gave me an old bear Kodiak magnum right handed recurve. Got a new string and started shooting and I was hooked. At first it was frustrating not being able to hit where wanted every time. So I switched to a left handed recurve and used arrow to aim. But I continue to shoot the right handed recurve instinctive out of the challenge of learning and the pure enjoyment of shooting. Then first year hunting with left handed recurve I missed a buck at 20 yds on ground. I was upset missed but the enjoyment of the hunt the closeness of the interaction of that animal had me hooked more. So after listening to

@Grant Richardson

on podcast and his audio book and shooting challenges I am on the mission to fill my tags with both bows right and left handed. The enjoyment of traditional is in the simplicity of the equipment and the closeness of the hunt for me. It is about the challenges and the struggles of it but the learning and experiencing what it was before tech took over archery. Find what makes traditional enjoyment.
