New Guy...please be patient
« on: June 17, 2012, 06:31:00 PM »
I'm a new guy here... I'm actually just testing the waters. I am currently NOT a traditional bow hunter, however, I am making the change. I highly doubt that I will be taking up traditional hunting this year with the season only a few short months away and my limited practicing, but I do think I could probably work my way up to do it next year if I am consistent.  

Just wanted to throw my name out there and let you know to be patient... I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TRAD EQUIPMENT!

I am the same guy that posts as turkulese at bowsite.com... in case anyone notices. I will be asking some questions in the coming weeks/months. Looking forward to it!

Welcome Ray!   :wavey:  

What part of Kansas? I would be glad to help in anyway if you are fairly close. Lots of trad shooters in Kansas I bet somebody is close enough to help you out.

Make sure you follow the rules! Also there is a search function, use it before you ask a whole bunch of questions. You will find a lot of these questions have been answered time and again. It could save you a lot of time.  If you cant find what you are looking for, ask away!

This is a great place to be, Glad to have ya.
Relax,

Welcome. If you're having fun you're doing it right! No clocks in here other than Terry's shooting clock. Take your time. When it's right you'll know.

Don't worry about not being proficient yet and not knowing much about trad. You have come to the right place for both good fellowship and sound advice. None of us started out knowing much (some insist that some of us older guys still don't know much, ie. my wife).

By next year you will probably be good enough to become a serious trad bowhunter. Diligently search for threads on any topic that you need to know more about - just about anything you could bring up has been discussed here from the very basics to the highly technical.If you don't find what you are looking for then post any questions you have, and you will find numerous people willing to help.

The only sound advice I can give you is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE and don't take it so seriously that you take the fun out of it.

Glad to have you in the group.
Sam

Welcome, couldn't have come to a better place to learn!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
