I recently purchased a black Swan take down recurve off a fellow member and the waiting is tough. He is in the process of moving into a new home and he lost my address which is making the wait longer. Ugg!!!! In the meantime I have received my arrows, beman mfx classics. I will hopefully be using 200 grain up front with another 100 grains inside the shaft with 5 inch left wing feathers. I sold my old 4 wheeler I never use and really made a comitment to traditional archery. I also have a bears paw fletching jig and safari tuff quiver ordered.
I have dabbeld in traditional archery only, having owned a hoyt gamemaster ii and a thunderstick iii. But never devoted enough time to practice. I have been hunting with compounds for 12 years and have taken a few whitetails in northeast Arkansas. I love bow hunting but something about traditional archery has got hold on me and will not let go.
I am hoping to contribute to this site more as I have been an avid reader for some time.
