I just wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself.
I'm an enthusiast for ANY kind of shooting - I shot target recurve as a kid, and have pulled triggers on stuff from crossbows to .22LR to 120mm (big boom!) and in between. But I'm new to trad archery. As I begin my first forays into hunting, on impulse I picked up a Darton #45 recurve at a garage sale (along with a half dozen arrows and a finger tab). It's the first bow I've bent in about 15 years. I forgot how much I enjoyed archery. Archery compared to other shooting is like a majestic eagle soaring high above a drunk, narcoleptic donkey. I won't be hunting with my recurve for a while, but shooting it has become my wind-down when I get home from work in the mornings.
I've been watching this forum for a few weeks. I'm impressed by the focus, the respect, and the camaraderie that members share. I expect to learn a lot and will try to offer what I'm able. Thanks.
