Title: Any traditional bowhunters here ?
Post by: R_Tatum on January 20, 2013, 06:55:00 PM
  I'm wondering if there are any traditional bowhunting cave dwellers. I have been a passionate bow hunter since about 1984, as well as a pretty accomplished traditional wood bowyer. Anyone else?

I used to have a PSE 60" recurve set at 50lbs. I didn't hunt with it I use my Bowtech 82nd Airborne for that. I used the recurve for fishing. I'd shoot buffalo, catfish and alligator gar. I sold it when I moved to MN.

 I had a compound once, a very early Jennings when I started bowhunting. Loud and clunky, never could understand why people liked the damn things, LOL.

   I shoot a Bigfoot Sasquatch TD recurve, 55# @ 29" draw, and a Javaman Tanjavur, 60# @ 29". I mostly hunt with my own hand made wooden bows though.

I don't hunt, but my niece south of Buffalo always gets her buck with a bow and arrow.

We have a traditional bow, but only use it at blackpowder Rendezvous.  So far, we've never hunted with anything.  That will change, now that we own a few acres.   :-)

My neighbor across the street makes them. He is forever in my back yard eying my hickory! I think he may have stolen a few?
