Got another convert from the dark side!
« on: December 01, 2009, 08:28:00 PM »
I have a new trad shooting pard, one of the young men from our local mennonite community dropped by and I fixed him up with a recurve. He was shooting pretty good after about 30 shots, but got tired quick. His cousins had been having a ball with their curves since I got them into it, have taken deer, beaver and several squirrels. He sold his PSE wheelie bow,and went whole hog trad. I made him a couple of tabs, and a extra flemish string to go with the bow, gave him a stringer and a extra 3Rivers catalog I had laying around. We refletched some of his arrows with feathers and wraps and I told him Merry Christmas, this was free. I had a Blachawk Archery, Apollo, #44@28, 64" long, Osage and Phenolic, yellow glass that I let him have for what I had in it, plus I put a new rest, string and wool puffs on it. I never get tired of coaching a new trad shooter, them start to get the hang of it and watch the spark in their eye when the arrows hit where they are looking! He had shot several of my bows in the past and his cousins, I beleive he will be a fast learner. Well, just thought I would share. Sam.

Are you sure your not OB1 Kanobe? switching them from the dark side and showing them the way of the force and such, watch out for Darth Vader!

No trick to it, just treat people right, show them how much fun they are missing and giveem a nudge to get started. My grandma always said
"When you give something to people from your heart, you are the one that is receiving the rewards." She was a shining example her 84 years.

My chance will come Friday. I am to go hunting with a cousin that I haven't hunted with in years. He is a gun and compound guy, but recently he bought a used Kodiak and has been "plinking" around with it. We are going to hit the woods and I'm going to give him that gentle nudge over the fence. Wish me luck, and way to go with your generocity and teachings.
Noli rogare pro onia pauciora, rogate pro scapulas latiores.

I go afield with bent wood, stick and string in search of serenity  through my primal quest.
