Newbie Here
« on: July 14, 2010, 03:06:00 PM »
I was an avid target shooter as a youth in the 1960s but gave it up about the time I went to college.

Found a few of my old bows and now have the bug again. Having some strings made up and need new arrows. Quite a Rip Van Winkle moment or worse since we are talking about a 40+ year sleep!

Boy, a lot has changed. I have a million questions and this looks like a fine group that can help me get up to speed and recall what little I used to know.

Thanks for allowing me on the site. Hope this was an OK place to introduce myself.

Glad to have you, General.  I did kind of the same thing, but not for 40 years.

The good thing is that even after a long layoff, a traditional bow is still a traditional bow.  If you shot when you were younger then a lot of what you think you forgot will come back to you.

And the folks on this site are great.  Lots of helpful and generous people.
