Perhaps the meaning of being a traditionalist leans more toward how we conduct and represent ourselves rather than the equipment we choose as opposed to others? For example, Fred Bear shot a recurve. Did his recurve make him a traditionalist? For their time, his bows were actually cutting edge and relied on current technology to make. However, Fred’s respect for the outdoors and his ethics were what made him shine as an icon in the sport and his never exhausted enthusiasm to be a sportsman influenced countless people for years. To me, that is a traditionalist. To invoke personal challenges and goals such as the size or numbers of game is as stated above, a highly personal thing. And I feel no one should ever be scrutinized for making choices like that which are indeed, their right to make.
