Hi All. I have been lurking here for a long time and finally felt like it was time to join. I found this forum at the end of the last bow season when I decided I wanted a new challenge. After 23 years of hunting with training wheels I was feeling a little stale. Since that time I have been on here nearly everyday reading and learning. All the stories, pictures, and advice are awesome. Thru this forum I learned of a trad bow show in Waterloo, Iowa and I attended. I met some nice folks and shot a few bows. At that time I decided to start saving for a new bow. This summer, while on vacation, I had the pleasure of visiting Jim Belcher at his shop. I shot some of his bows and had a nice visit. Well, I finally saved enough to make the purchase and I am now waiting for my Belcher Thunderbird to arrive. My hope is that with enough practice I will feel comfortable enough to take it out yet this season. If not I still have the wheelie bow. I have a friend at work who has let me shoot his backup bow, an older Bear Kodiak, for the last few months so hopefully I can transition smoothly. Anyway, I want to thank all of you for inspiring me to give this a try. I am certain I will have many questions and I know from reading just how helpful you all are. Thanks.
