I'm "A" with a provision. For my own shooting nothing but recurve and longbows BUT since getting coaching credentials and actively coaching, have picked up a C bow about 4 years ago but really only use it for instruction. Have never hunted or competed with it.

Depending on how you look at it... I'd have to go for all of the above.
It's complicated, but basically, it comes down to shooting what I could get my hands on, what makes sense given my circumstances, and keeping a few options open..

A. until last Friday.
After 45 years of recurves and longbows I bought my first compound at 62 in order to continue bowhunting elk in Wyoming. So I guess I'm officially D
Shoulder surgery in 94 is catching up with me but I was not ready for rifle-only elk hunting. I'll still be longbow/recurve for deer in Oklahoma.

Yup I'm a B. Started with a Bear Kodiak Hunter, got out of archery for awhile then got a compound; Got tired of always tweaking on it. Bought a Martin X200 & never looked back. Sold the Compound a couple years later to partially fund a Blacktail Elite. Still have the Blacktail!!!!

The first bow I shot was probably my Dads old PSE Firefox crossbow back in the 80's. Never shot a compound so I guess A.

B but also D I seldom ever shoot the compound but have no problem picking up the compound for the last couple days of the season, if necessary (we like venison):)

I'm not sure how to answer I guess c. I syartes at 14 shooting a compound bit I didn't want a compound. My dad didn't feel comfortable about we hunting deer with a trad bow at the time.(he is not a bow hunter) but as soon as I graduated high school I took my grad money an bought a Montana that I still shoot.... Probably because its the only bow other bow I ever bought. Poor :(

So for those like me whose attention span is prohibitively short….
Out of 751 responses: 19% are the True Believers and Queer Old Farts who have never shot anything with wheels or cables
47% of us are the Prodigal Sons of Archery
23% are Converts
And 12% haven’t quite settled the internal debate. Or simply don’t believe that there is one…
And near as I can tell, about 100% are pretty good company most of the time ;)

B compounds had not been invented when I started. Tried them, won a few 3D tournaments then went back to the light weight and simple fun of long bows. Ken

When i was 13yrs someone gave my dad a fiber glass bow and he thought id shoot the neigbors cat so he hid it in his car trunk So one day i saw it,,,and begged for it but Mom wasnt have'n it So she told me im not giving you a bow,,but if you buy one yourself theres nothing i can do,,i cant tell you how to spend your money : ) So i got a paper route and saved some money After couple mounths i went to a local gun store and bought a used Bear Whitetall hunter with all the trimings for $80 And it all started from there,,after some years i was given a Bear Black Bear and i put down the multi strings and never looked back
