I got back into archery a few years ago after losing interest and taking a short 20 year break from it. I found a big online forum which was mostly about form and target shooting, but I found out that guys were shooting longbows and recurves and enjoyed it so much that their compounds were just collecting dust (!).
Somewhere between the endless debates on form, grip, release, etc., somebody mentioned that guys were actually making their own bows at a place called TradGang. I found 4est trekker's famous pyramid bow build along and made the clunkiest, ugliest bow you could imagine. I still cringe when I look at it now, but being hickory it didn't break, and I really enjoyed the process of making it.
So I guess I blame you guys for getting me hooked on this stuff. And especially that #%@!#ing Roy! :D
