I hunt with both longbow and compound. I shoot both year round and on any given day I will practice with both. I have no problem with those who like just compounds,but I love converting some to try trad gear. Shooting a compound gets boring,all else being equal it takes a few shots to bring gratification. A stick bow makes you work at what you want to achieve bringing a sweeter reward. Its not what you hold in your hand but what you hold in your heart,hunt ethically.
