[QUOTE="DC219, post: 5006008, member: 21499"] It took me a couple of years to become confident enough to hunt with traditional archery. Once I gained confidence, it was like rediscovering archery. Suddenly, you are deer hunting in its purest form and everything becomes a trophy. It took me way more commitment than a compound did. If I didn’t shoot some arrows every day from about April through bow season, I could tell it. I really prefer 3D targets and tend to never quit practicing on a bad shot. (Superstitious I guess) Once I became competent, I typically only had to shoot about 10-20 arrows a day to maintain it. It’s a mental game, so for me, I tend to hit a point of diminishing returns if I shoot too many arrows during practice. Be aware though, if you field- shoot beyond your limitations, the wound rate can go up. I’ve mostly returned to hunting with a compound in recent years, but still enjoy shooting traditional. Occasionally, I’ll still like to give it a try. [/QUOTE]
