In fact the last time I shot my Longbow I made a running shot at night at 1200 meters.  In all fairness the first shot was a little long but the second burst I mean shot hit dead on.   :chuckle:

bowhunter why did you stop using traditional? just curious since I was a super hardcore traditional guy, took a five year break and now I find myself with a compound of all things. the compound gets the job done but its no recurve, something about having no sights and staying focused really floated my boat.

I learned on an old recurve when I first picked up a hunting bow.  I had a longbow for kids, than a kids compound bow.  I bought a used Hoyt compound with a spring rest and shot it instinctively.  I could turn it horizontally, shoot it laying down, etc, because I didn't use sights, and because of the type of rest I used.  I have always shot fingers as well.  If you do use the three fingers under the nock, use it on a longbow or recurve.  With the shorter length of a compound, you can get a lot of finger pinch, unless you have a really short draw length.  I like traditional for the greater challenge, carrying a lot lighter weight, and the peace and quiet when target shooting.
