I agree, this webiste is a major reason that I 'made the swap'. This is the largest "family" I have ever seen! Just 4 days ago, I was in need of some brass insterts, I posted an ISO willing to pay for them. Riverrat 2 comes along and replies, "i have 14 you can have, send me your address". Well yesterday i received them! This group is as good as it gets! Now if anyone has a BW longbow lying around..
One thing that separates traditional archery from "archery" not days is the spirit of brotherhood. Everyone I meet/message on here is like family.
Last week I traded dorado limbs with a guy fom California, i sent my limbs, he sent his, when he received them, they weren't exactly what he was looking for(# wise). Well he shipped them back as i did the same except he sent his back with 3 new FF flemish twist strings FREE OF CHARGE!
