I shoot compund, Indoor leagues, 3D shoots and hunt with compound also. That was impressive to watch.
 
I shoot a traditional longbow, recurve and single cam compound. I do MOST of my hunting with the Compound but love getting out with the others sometimes. I do mostly spot and stalk if I am carrying the LB or Recurve.

Only competetive shooting I have done was in 3D also with compound. Pretty dang good!
 
Nice. That link is impressive. I used to shoot traditional a lot when I was a kid, but I don't have anyplace to shoot nowadays. That kid has talent. It takes more than skill to be able to do what he can do. I've never heard of anyone shooting clays with a bow before. I bet he could get sponsored by a manufacturer in a heartbeat.
 
I used to shoot traditional for casual target shooting in the back yard and have a closet full of old recurves (and one long bow). Years ago, I bought a Mathews Q2 compound bow for deer hunting and an Alpine MR compound bow for back yard target shooting. I love to bow hunt for whitetails!

This spring, a couple of my buddies gave me a nice take-down recurve (Hoyt/Easton Medalist with carbon limbs). I'm working on my form so I can switch to traditional for my hunting.

Thanks for sharing that video. It takes excellent skills to shoot aerial targets. One of the guys that gave me the recurve this spring sometimes duck and goose hunts with his recurve. Amazing.


Stay sharp,

That Guy In the Video Is a Great Shot, I seen on the Shooting Channel they had a show on Pheasant Hunting with Bow's, Most of the Guy's were missing them but there was one Old Timer he didnt miss he was on the Money ! I also seen a Tradional Bow Shooter on the History Channel In a Show on SharpShooter's that was hitting Baby Aspirin's In the Air It was Unreal, I'm thinking about getting In to Primitive Archery I like the Old School Style, I've been looking through this Web-Site quite often http://www.shrewbows.com/ the Bow's & Arrow's aint Cheap but he sure doe's some Good Work, I know I'm getting a Shrew Hawk one of these Day's,

Yes, some good shooting with a mechanical bow. :thumbup:

I shoot, and build, both traditional and primitive equipment. A wonderful hobby that gives you all sorts of excuses to be in the woods or on the target range.

A couple of my favorite trick shooters were Howard Hill (the best of the best), and Ben Pearson. I got to see Ben Pearson shoot as a very young man and was thoroughly impressed with his abilities with bow and arrow. Seems that there were few things that he couldn't hit with alarming consistency. I knew right then that archery would be a big part of my life.

I had the opportunity to shoot with trick shooter, Byron Ferguson, a few years ago. He is now a regular tv personality, and legend among traditional and modern archers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbQezcKi1pc&NR=1

Thank's for sharing that Video Link, Bryon Ferguson Is Amazing, He's the one I seen on SharpShooter's hitting the Baby Aspirins out of the Air !
 
I'm just taking up modern recurve but I have a feeling that I'll move to traditional or primitive down the track.

Two different bows in the pictures I made both. The bow in the top pic, is Osage backed with hickory that qualifies as a primitive bow. The bottom pic is a fiberglass over a bamboo core reflex/def lex American semi-longbow. There both about the same length, and the arrow plate is in the same place so I can shoot them the same.
 
I used to shoot competitively when I was in high school and even got one of my letters shooting archery. Haven't done it in years.

The guy in the video has talent
