Title: Howdy From Missouri
Post by: jaroddog on July 31, 2015, 09:15:00 PM: Hi all!
I built my first longbow when I was 14-15 years old and I've been lurking here for quite some while. I decided I finally needed to join up and draw from all of your expertise. I'll soon be 29, and I'm a knife smith by trade (along with a chainsaw and OPE repair business) now that my contractor days are over. I recently sold two of my woodcraft/bushcraft and hunting puukko knives to a local restaurant and decided I wanted to try a shorter manufactured bow so I bought a Samick Sage 40# and all the fixings a month ago and I love it so far. It's a little higher poundage due to stacking at my draw length (I'm 6'5"). I just wanted to thank all the contributors here for all the useful information and I hope to be an active part of the community and glean what I can from all of you. Looking forward to making many friends. My plan is to practice enough with this new bow to where I feel comfortable using it this archery season and beyond. Thanks again and hi from Northwest MO!

Title: Re: Howdy From Missouri
Post by: jaroddog on August 01, 2015, 11:14:00 AM: Awe shoot! Literally... I already have plans for that day. My friends are having me over for a Cajun cookout. How often do you guys get together over in Maryville? I could definitely use the practice and probably a few tips on my form. Where do you get together over there? Oh and thanks, all. This is definitely the warmest welcome I've received on a forum to date.
