Im hooked!!!
« on: February 02, 2010, 07:55:00 PM »
Been a wheelbow shooter for 20 years till my 20 yr old son bought a Mamba, started helping him figure it out and man I had to have one. I felt like a kid at Christmas waiting on the UPS guy to deliver my Martin Hunter, got it yesterday and got it tuned today. Just about everything I know about traditional shooting (which aint much) I learned from this sight. Great job guys!!

trick,
yeah, more fun ain't it?

I was starting back into archery after a long time off (wheelie back then) and when I checked in the shops all I could find was compounds! Felt more like I was shooting a firearm than a bow. Found this site, bought a used bow from a member, got my OWN bow, and love every shot.
Just FEELS natural.   :wavey:    :wavey:

You're gonna love it!, I shot both wheel bow and stick bow for years, then I finally took the leap and got rid of the wheels, and haven't looked back.  I have so much more fun shooting, hunting, you name it.
