Hello,

I'm new to this forum and new to traditional archery.

I've recently ordered a bow from a very reputable bowyer and can't wait to get my hands on it and start flinging some arrows.

I've been reading quite a bit on this site and I've found it highly informative with a never ending supply of excellent advice aimed at newbies such as myself.

Not new to archery.  Been bowhunting with a compound for 20yrs.

I've finally decided to take the next step and learn how to be efficient with trad equipment.

Looking forward to it!

Great Fun is an understatement... Once you learn the "right way" to shoot and have your arrows and bow tuned up you are gonna see that this Trad Stuff will be the best time spent with your clothes on!

No complaints about my beloved Georgia!  Born and raised here!

Thanks for the welcome and when I get my new bow in a month or so, I'm sure I'll be on here regular asking a multitude of questions about what I'm doing wrong......  :D  

Again, this is a fantastic web board!
