This is my first post on here.

My name is Kevin, I live in Maine. I'm a middle-aged school teacher who started shooting bows 30 years ago. I've been doing the "compound thing all this time.

For years I have been watching the traditional guys shoot at my club's 3-D course. I always thought they were a little strange. "Why shoot those old bows when there is new technology out there?"

Well, for some reason, I asked to shoot a guy's recurve about a month ago. Man, way different, difficult, a little frustrating, but FUN. So I borrowed an old Kodiak Magnum and shot a tournament. What a blast! I never thought that I would be so happy to get a 5 on a deer target at 20 yards.  :)
So, I bought a used longbow and it should be here Tuesday. I CAN"T WAIT.

Kev
