27 here and have been hunting with bow since I was just a little squirt, killed my first deer with a bow at age 12 and it's been a everyday activity for me since. Was bored with compounds by age 18 and have been shooting a stick ever since then. I hope I'm able to enjoy this sport into my 60's..... Hell for that matter,make it there

Y'all a bunch of young whipper snappers.
I'm 72. my first bow was a green glass take down Ben Pearson longbow
that I bought from Cullum and Boren about 1954. Still got it.
I taught myself all of my bad habits about shooting a bow, then
discovered cars, girls, drag racing, rodeoing and didn't get back to
the bow until mid 80's.
Still got all those bad shooting habits, I learned them well.

Started shooting a longbow back when I was about 7 years old - Used my Dad's old Stemmler longbow. I shot for several years then got a Pearson all glass recurve and hated it. Quit - then in early 70's got back into archery... shot a compound for about 1 1/2 years then switched to the longbow and have been shooting them every since.

I'll be 55 come Nov 6th.
Started shooting stickbows when I was 9, so that would be 1966.
Was taught how to shoot right, and started seriously shooting in 1984.
Shot a compound periodically on & off for one year, but never laid my stickbows down. For that year I'd shoot both when I shot. Put the compound up in the closet after a year of tinkering with it, and then gave it away a few years back.
55 ain't really old, and if my joints were in as good a shape as my looks I'd be doing darn well.
