Hey all, Just joined up. Not new to traditional archery per se, but I am just getting going full bore. I shoot a Striker TDL by Rick Ellis of Striker bows, and I am pulling the trigger on my second Striker at lunch time. I cant call myself a purist, and hope that does not put me outside the circle, but I do enjoy shooting my long bows and recurves the most. I have shooting with field points down pretty good, now I am learning broad heads, then hopefully, I will get to try them out next season, or even go back to Texas and try a pig with my trad gear.Good to meet you all, and look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Actually, I have been. Thats where I started. I have been using O.L. Adcocks's write up on bow and arrow tuning. That factors heavily into my set up. Ill be posting the recipe for my hunting arrows to hopefully get some comments on weather or not I am on the right track.
