Thanks for the Welcome. Its great to be a member of the Gang! I acctually first started out with a bear recurve as a young kid. I really didn't start bowhunting again till about 8 years ago. I shot a compound the whole time. Featherbuster has now enlightened me to the sport of Traditional BowHunting. I Don't know who is familiar w/ Arkansas, but here there is ONE place to go to get a Traditional Bow. Archers Advantage in Little Rock is were I have been going and shooting diff bows. My question is - Longbow or Recurve?
