NEW age bracket poll!

#1 Post by Captainkirk »

Since the old poll has been locked for over five years, and most of the members who actually voted are gone or inactive...
Let's do it again!

This is a perpetual poll and allows you to change your age bracket as necessary. :mrgreen:

I feel like most guys on the forums are much older than me. Some of them really surprise me when I find out how old they actually are vs how old I Imagine them to be through their posts, its kind of interesting to see. I think trad archery is making a bit of a come back though.

Wow, its great to see the younger guys into trad. Now I personally know of a total of......4 guys under 30 using trad. :cry:

I know there a lot more, I just dont know of it. You guys are a blessing to us older gen guys. Keep the fire burning fellas.

I started trad at 12 and moved to compound and back again. Nothing like a stick and a string. Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow especially the beautiful simplicity of trad. I used to beat myself up for bad shots with a compound. When I shoot a bad shot with a trad bow I simply laugh and shoot another.

I agree with you Longtrad! I'm certainly not in the younger crowd, but I know there is many a young'n out there with a spark for trad shooting. Btw I'm good as 48.

I guess I'm in the 50-60 crowd now. I'm as good as 50.
