Tradtional Archery Growing??

I make and sell BBI longbows,for youth and kids.
I have no doubt that the,hunger games is,responsible for the young ladies that have ordered this year. Most are new to archery, but wanted a traditional,style bow.

My father was down in Missouri around the time the Hunger Games came out and went to a fairly popular outdoors store and asked to see their selection of longbows and recurves and the gentleman behind the counter said, "They simply cannot keep them in stock since that movie came out." Hopefully this isn't just a fad and people will truly see how amazing in its simplicity trad archery really is.

I have also seen it in my 4 year old niece. she always enjoyed pulling arrows with my brother and I. But now that she has seen Brave... Oh man.. Now she wants to shoot!!!

I think it's good for everybody if trad archery interest is up. Although my 5 archery buddies are all compound guys, (and I'm the oddball) it's good for people to start at "the beginning". If they want to shoot compounds later, good for them.  At least they are in some form of archery.  Everyone wins.
