New guy here!
« on: January 30, 2012, 04:52:00 PM »
New guy here, just joined, brand new to trad archery, although I spent quite a few years using the "other kind" of bow. Decided it was time to take off the training wheels! I am Canadian, a machinist by trade, amateur knifemaker (stressing the word amateur), hunter, outdoorsman, and also love things that go bang! Hope to get lots of good info/discussion here as I journey into  the art of traditional archery!

I don't have a bow as of yet, but I have a Chek Mate Beaver Creek long bow on order. It is made by a bowyer in British Columbia, Canada. It is 58" long, and will have between 50 and 55 Lbs. pull (not sure exactly, as it isn't finished yet). Everything else broadheads,quiver and the rest is up in the air! Looking forward to doing the research here! Arrows will probably be the ones I shot with my wheels. 30.5" Gold Tip Hunters, 55/75. Looking at a Safari Tuff Arrowmaster quiver, or Duiker, which ever one I can attach to my backpack.

Welcome to tradgang.  Be sure to check out the knife maker's forum if you haven't already.  Lots of eye-popping good stuff there.  

I've heard many compliments about Chek Mate bows.  Have fun!  :thumbsup:    :campfire:
