One of the misguided concepts people have about traditional forms of archery and more modern forms is that the old ways are more disciplined, hence more of a challenge. Most people do not realize how high the bar is set with modern bows and arrows. I shoot Longbows, Recurves, Compounds with release aids and Free Style Recurves (Olympic Recurve). The difference for me is what's possible for consistency. Consistency is the key to accuracy. Skill is skill, and a good archer can shoot and understand all forms of the sport. My goal is to educate and create a more complete archer.
