Thanks Mudd for the intro to tradition
« on: September 16, 2010, 08:46:00 PM »
I met Mudd a couple weeks ago at the local archery range.  I've been ready to switch over to traditional archery ever since.  Today my daughter, son and I got to go to his house and try out all of his bows.  I have been advised that when looking for a bow, shoot as many as possible.  At Mudd's house, I didn't shoot a single bow I didn't like!  Fortunately, there were a couple that seemed to find the target with greater ease.  I now have some ideas on what to look for (and they weren't what I expected).  By the way Mudd, it was fun to listen to the kids excitingly trying to tell their mother how much fun they had - at the same time!  Thanks!

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

Loston66,
Glad you had a good time. Roy's been my buddy for a long time & I really enjoy his company. I always have a good time with him. Only problem is he doesn't like grits & it's hard to look too long at his face. I once saw him ugly a gray squirrel out of a 50ft. white oak in less than 4 seconds!    :biglaugh:    

Mudd,
That's the way to make them feel welcome. good goin'.

Hey Mike, you Emma and Wyatt are lucky.  I haven't got to see the full stable yet but I have my bow in the truck now so the next time I get up that way I will show Mudd what I can do with a short and sweet recurve.  Glad y'all had a good time and I hope you find the ONE soon. Travis aka Gabby.

Thanks for all of the support.  I can see the "terminal disease" chopx2.  After shooting with Mudd, I remarked that I now know I wasn't just going to be looking for my first bow, but likely the second, and...  Thanks for posting the pics, Mudd.  I think the hat helped Emma channel for better shooting!  If most traditional archers are like Mudd, I can tell I'm going to meet a lot of great people!
