Welcome aboard. I was where you are now a little over a year ago. This site has been instrumental in my progression and the kind advice I've gotten here has been honest and accurate. My most important lesson? Start with a light bow, real light!

Welcome, this is a fun place.  I understand what you say about compounds vs. traditional bows and fun.  For me the compound is an incredible shooting machine, it almost seems to remove the shooter from the shot.  Just the opposite with my recurves.  Compared to a compound I can't hit squat with my recurves, but I have a lot more fun shooting them.  I think of compound archery like precision rifle shooting and traditional archery like live bird wing shooting.  One is more science, one is more art.

Enjoy the journey, keep your mind open, try lots of different bows...

Welcome to a fun and addictive sport/lifestyle. I started with a recurve, but just got a longbow. The longbow is just so classic, I love it.
