    Hunting with a bow is extremely fun. Also you can shoot grouse on your deer or elk hunt. No need to worry about spoiling anything. Be dedicated and practice at least once a week. If you have any questions and ever come to Kelowna. Visit the Hardcore Archery they are great and have all the info and accessories you’ll need .

    easier by far lol

    But they both have advantages over the other. Personally I started trad as a kid then shot compound for years and now I only use my recurve. I just like the simplicity of it and knowing if something goes wrong it me not something I have chase in my set up. My effective range is cut in half with the recurve though

    Compounds are all about setting up your bow just right, consistent form and if you know your yardage boom your splitting hairs. Down side something goes wrong with your set up you need to take time to fix/readjust before you are accurate again

    If you’re a tech guy and enjoy tweaking things to try and get it perfect a compound is the ticket but if you like simplicity you will be back with your trad bow in no time

    Good luck

    Another good tip is to try and match up your broadheads with your arrows so they fly true. You may have to mess around with different weight and style a little to find one that fits perfect to your practice points.
