Back to Traditional
« on: January 03, 2011, 08:40:00 PM »
Greetings...after many, many years with a wheel bow and nerve damage in the left arm...I recently purchased a 1972 Bear Kodiak Magnum, #45, LH. I have not shot a bow in four years and have not shot a recurve in 35 years. I would like to "thank everyone in advance" for all the help that I am counting on from this forum. Happy New Year

Regards

Your gonna love it, just hang in there and try not to expect too much of yourself at first. I did the same thing three years ago, I shot Trad. from 57-74, then stopped for a variety of reasons, went to a wheeler in 96 for hunting and ended up buying the same bow you did which got me started again in Trad. All I can say is it's great and I wish I had never left.

Welcome back to the world of traditional archery!

The 1st steps of your journey have begun, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine.

If there's anything I can do to help, just whistle.

God bless,Mudd
