What is "Traditional Archery"?

[Hoyt]

I have no idea..the term Traditional wasn't around when I started shooting recurves in the 50's. We just shot the best recurves and longbows we could get.

Some used sights, stabilizers, whatever made them shoot better. I didn't hear the term Traditional until after compounds came about.

Seems like a lot of the things we used in the old days are looked down on now by the self described traditionalist.
