Welcome my friend NorthernCaliforniaHunter!

My friend Juan has bought his first longbow and signed on to the 'gang, after lurking for a bit.
Welcome him aboard.    
He's been a pig hunting machine for years, but with a modern firearm. Now he wants to try to get them up close and personal.

Welcome Juan, I hope one day we can hunt hogs together.

[NorthernCaliforniaHunter]

Well chucks...
     Thanks guys for the welcome! I've been on the fence regarding archery for several years. Now the real hunting starts, eh? Although I must say I've been lucky enough to get rather close to the critters I've shot, perhaps the longbow will be a little less spooky.
     I also have a use for some of my first deer's hide that I've been hanging onto for years. I stayed up late last night and made an armguard that I'm quite proud of:

Howdy.
Now git!

Just joking.      Good looking armgard you've made there.  Hope you have a good time using it in the field.
