New Shooter saying hello
« on: February 04, 2008, 12:54:00 PM »
Hello all,
Thought I better introduce myself before bombarding you all with questions.

I'm from South Africa and been shooting traditional bow for about 6 months now.
Shot a 35# longbow for about 5 months but now shooting a Viper 68" longbow, 55#@ 28" which is what I draw.Bow is cut about 1/8" before centre and shooting Easton XX75 2213 arrows.

There are no trad archery shops within about 4 hours from here so getting accesories is a real problem.

I am looking for some links on longbow setup, shelf material, bow quietening etc as I don't want to bore you with thousands of questions before I try to sort myself out.

Many thanks for any advice.

Welcome to TragGang, Roderick.

Since I shoot a recurve, I'll let someone else answer your longbow questions.

I'm new here as well.  Been lurking around and gathering info as I'm waiting for my first trad bow to be made.
Here are a couple of links people directed me to for bow tuning:

 http://www.centenaryarchers.gil.com.au/basic1.htm

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the links jts15, seems like the more I read the less I realize I know.
You guys seem to have got this shooting thing down to a fine art.
No Bowhunting stories from this neck of the woods yet but hoping to have some in the future.
