Primitive classification?
« on: July 17, 2008, 01:52:00 PM »
What typically defines the "primitive" classification at shoots?  I'm assuming wooden bows without fiberglass, wooden arrows, etc..
How about laminated wooden bows - such as a bamboo-backed hickory?  Anything else?

Most places require wooden arrows shot from backed or unbacked bows made of "natural materials"--No fiberglass, basically.

Lams/backed bows are OK most places these days, I believe, as long as they are not FG or Carbon lams, etc. As I mentioned in my e-mail, some clubs differ slightly but perhaps some club "rules" guys will come on. (personal opinions sometimes run rampant - LOL)

No sweat, buddy. So you thought I hadn't answered you, huh?   :D   I wouldn't do that - at least not on purpose -   "[dntthnk]"     :)  My pleasure.

In your case, Tom, "primitive" refers to the motel room on the side of the building that faces the road, and the absence of mints on the pillows.

I didn't think you had answered me, but I knew it wasn't because you were ignoring me...I just thought you were still napping  :D  

Killie, You got that right, girl!
