Hello everyone! New 21 y/o archer here just got started yesterday went to the local basspro and picked up a grizzly recurve and practicing in the backyard.

Despite everyone telling me to go compound I felt I should stick to what I wanted and not regretting it so far! Although I already destroyed my own a/c...nice.

anyways I hope to have a good time! Im a forum noob here so yeah :/ I hope I started topic in right place.

Welcome from KS! Once you get going don't be afraid to put a form video of you shooting on the shooters forum and ask to be critiqued. Helped me more than I can express. This site is awesome!

Thanks guys, Im shooting at 45lb 58 inch grizzly recurve the one that now has red-tinged wood instead of the beige color? And the guy at the shop set me up with 250 carbon arrows and standard field tips with composite feather fletchings. The arrows are not cut down since im almost 6'3" so yeah lol

The funny thing is I didnt shoot the a/c im just a walking disaster..as i pulled my arrow outta the back quiver another one caught it and got flipped out. It flipped and slid straight inbetween the a/c grill in front of god and everybody and the blades cut the arrow in half causing the tip to ricochet into the condenser area...freon gas everywhere lol

Welcome and good choice going with the stick bow. You will love the way it allows you to hunt, not just shoot.

LONGSTYKES · « **Reply #17 on:** August 28, 2011, 05:23:00 PM »

Welcome and great choice for your first bow. Enjoy

Congratulationjs, you have just joined an elite (and perhaps eccentric bunch of folks). Many people told us to go to the compund bow also. In fact, many did, but have come around to the traditional side of life. It is a great place to be. Spend lots of time practicing and lots of time on Trad Gang. You will find many, many people here to give encouragement and sound advice. You can learn a lot of useful stuff here, and not all of it only about archery and bowhunting but about solid personal values. Its good to have you aboard.

Enjoy the world of Trad archery.
You are bold starting without training wheels.
Trust the bow, be the arrow and enjoy.
