Hi there Trad Gang, I've been hiding in the shadows here for some time, I figured I'd post a little about myself for an intro post. I've shot longbows all through high school and for a year afterwards but unfortunately got out of it for a few years due to work (Infantry)and after I got back from Afghanistan I decided to get myself a new bow, so I had an old friend and local bowyer make me a 3 piece take down recurve and much to my surprise, he inlaid a special edition veterans 25 cent coin, if I can figure out my camera I'll eventually post pictures. I've only been out hunting with my old longbow a few times but the plan is to try for one of the black tail deer we have on Vancouver Island this fall, I have some friends with farmland that will hopefully allow me to fill my freezer this fall. I've learned a massive amount by lurking here so thanks for all the great info!!
