Taking aPlung or leap of Faith?
« on: April 11, 2011, 09:57:00 PM »
Hello guys and gals!  New to the site,  I just wanted to say hello and express my gratatude and excitment for all the quality information on the site...  I have surfed the site for roughly a year now and decided to join...  

I took a plung and Put all my high tech gear up for sale and am going all trad...  

I have been interested in this side of the sport since I started shooting archery nearly 15 years ago.  I bardered some welding work a few years ago for a boo backed osage long bow.  I love shooting it and am now taking stabs at building my own board bow (I seem to brake most of them)  its as fun as it gets...

Any way dont want to get to long winded...  It amazes me to see the talent on the site..  

Happy shooting!!!!!!!!!!

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

Straitera,  thanks for the advice.  I have broke a few already,  I thought it would be cheap way to learn but Im quickly figuring out that @ $15 dollars a board I could have build a form box and bought some lams... but its all in fun,  ill atribute all my broken bows to experience under the belt...  thanks agian
