I went back to the Trad a few years ago after shooting a little Bear Kodiak Magnum at work some. for some reason I really like that little bow, now have a 45 and a 50 at 28" but I draw 29 inches (yes there is a little finger pinch). Arrows I use are full length 500s Axis Trads with the 75gr Brass inserts and 150gr head and to get weight up a bit more 8gpi insert tubes from 3rivers. That combination works well for me from both bows.
I do like the bow the OP got and know how they shoot, very nice Si

Sadly, I haven't found an outdoor place to shoot in my area yet.

So I have been shooting 3-4 days with the recurve at 10-12 yards.. I feel like my form is much better than it was the first time I hunted with a trad bow.. I am back to grouping well and I am able to keep all my arrows in a 4" group at 10 yards..
However.. I will be honest its not as much fun this time as it was the first time.. I feel like I have been practicing so much to get back to shooting well with my compound and I am hoping that going back to trad doesn't mess that up lol.. we will see how it goes.. I will definitely at least shoot a few pigs with either my recurve or the traveling bow I'm signed up for..

I don't have to choose either or. My second season shooting a single string I only killed two deer with my recurve and longbow. I broke a draw hand finger and finished filling my tags with my compound.
However I've only killed one pig with it since. I just like it better with a single string. For now.

JT, For me, the more I shoot my trad bows the better my compound shooting is. My focus is better, I shoot more relaxed, my form stays strong, and my follow through is better. For whatever reason, shooting with fingers takes away any inclination to punch my release, when I pick up the compound again. I was still competing pretty hard with the compound early in the year, right after I picked up a trad bow for the first time. With the exception of the Paris pro-am, all my scores were up. Hopefully you’ll experience something similar.
