I have noticed some interest in traditional bows by folks thinking about trying it. I think that's great! My first piece of advice is to learn the 3 fingers under shooting technique. For close range shooting I think it is the way to go!
Rod
Grizzlystick Alaskans 135 Zwickey delta w/125 grain adapter 100 grain brass inserts. Gives me a 710 grain finished arrow that flys great & hits like a tank!
I picked one up last year after i got back from Colorado. Used it on 3 whitetails here in Iowa. Did 2 using gutless method. 1 blade for each deer. Then caped out my buck with it. It will be the only knife in my pack for the backcountry this year.
