Getting back into the sport! :)
« on: April 13, 2012, 09:55:00 PM »
Hey everybody! My name is Cody Kempton, and I've been lured back into the world of traditional Archery/hunting. As a kid and my early teens my Dad, brother and me were all pretty active in the sport. We fletched our own cedar arrows, made our own leather armguards, quiver hoods, you name it. My dad as long as I can remember has suffered fr pretty severe target panic ( had had a few bows break on him over the years). His frustration with it, and our interest in muzzleloader hunting eventually lead us to sell our traditional gear. That was about 5 years ago.
 BUT, I've recently gotten married and my wife has an uncle and a few cousins who are also really involved in traditional archery, and she has been showing alot of interest. So, that has really gotten the bug back in me. In fact I just ordered today a longbow (my first, always been a recurve guy) from Tony Semenuk at White Wolf archery. So the wait begins. Just thought i'd say hello and share.  :)
-Cody
Here a link to a bow quite similar to the one I've ordered (same color scheme) enjoy!
