Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"

My first was a 45# old green fiberglass bow with a white handle. Not sure of the make but that was many moons ago!
My first real wood tradbow was a 58# LaClair Hunter longbow.  :)

My first bow of any kind (except for a little green fiberglass job I had when I was a kid) was a hickory selfbow I made in a class put on by the Primitive Bowhunters of Illinois. It was 66" NTN, and drew 64# @ 28. I only hunted with it for a year, but still have it.

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.

An old Bear that my Grandmother bought me in 1969 used it for shooting turles in the pond as a boy. Funny thing,, after all these years and many bows in between I am back to using a Fred Bear Takedown.
