Hello from coastal BC
« on: October 15, 2016, 11:17:00 PM »
Thouhgt I'd say hello to the collective after joining up today.

Returning to traditioanl archery after a 15+ year break in the days before the net.  A recently passed good friend of mine got very much into traditional shooting and his influence saw me building a rd takedown longbow and changing form split fingers instinctive to three under tab gap to fixed crawl.

I was able to take a grouse on a recent trip to the Yukon and will be making a heavier bow at Christmas for,spring bear.  I've made three bows so far two recurve and the longbow.

I live in BC outside Vancouver and tend to make stuff over buy it.

Very best,

Ian

Welcome, Ian!  Looks you're gonna fit right in!  I like your side of the world.  I lived 20+ years in interior Alaska and took several trips up the Alcan highway.  BC is sure a beautiful place.  I'd love to hunt there.

Welcome! I've never taken any game with a self made bow, I think that would be the ultimate.

Good luck on your bear hunt.

Hello there and welcome from northern Quebec.

I really like B.C. but I haven't been there in a while - I have friends and  relatives there that I haven't seen in a long time. Time goes so darn fast.

Nice bow and arrows!
