New to Traditional!
« on: June 21, 2011, 10:52:00 AM »
Finally starting my journey into Traditional archery and just got my first recurve and began shooting yesterday.  Been trying to catch up on the tons of info that you guys have laid out here to try and make this transition from compound to recurve smoother.  

I dont have many Traditional shooters close to me in Central Louisiana so I will be picking 'yalls brains and probably posting a few videos as I get started for some critiquing.

Well, you've gone and done it now. You've sentenced yourself to so much fun it oughta be illegal!

Welcome to the family. You may find out that there are more Trad folks near you than you thought. If you do a shoutout with your location in the title you just might find a shootin' buddy close.

Have fun and shoot straight!   :campfire:

Welcome, no better place for practical and useful advice and knowledge!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I started shooting yesterday and couldnt get enough.  In fact, between my shoulder blades, fingertips and for some reason my right hamstring are sore today, LOL!  

My 5 yards groups were OK and I backed up to about 10 yards and it didnt take long for me to learn that........I had a lot to learn.

My starter bow is a Samick Osprey.
