Coming back to Traditional side
« on: June 06, 2013, 11:23:00 PM »
Hello,
Try to coming back into the fold of the past when I first stated shooting....  I got tired of the having to have the faster, more gagets more and more on the machine arrow thrower.      :knothead:

So, here I am...  Starting all over learn what I forgot some 30 years ago.... The journey back to trusting my instincts in shooting.    
I can see there is lots of good info in all the forums, so I better get cracking...  
Later for now

I had about a 25 year hiatus. Glad to be back. And  I came back with a vengeance.

Welcome back.

Thanking for the welcome backs...

dad,
 Nice timing LOL,  Only of you guys could have the event the following weekend.   My Daughter gets married June 15th. For my own safety I think I wil have to pass on the  Compton Traditional Bowhunter shoot.  
Is there any or many "True" Traditional Bowhunters/Bowyers/shops in the Tri City/Saginaw Bay area?  
I have been reading the Traditional Bowyers bible vol.1...(Vol 2,3,4 waiting on the shelf)  since I have a small wood shop in the basement...
Well Thanks again for the info and welcome backs...

Welcome to the campfire    :campfire:   Jeff.

It sounds a lot like it's been in your heart all along, just ignored until now.

It's a great way to help uncomplicate portions of your life.

I know I've spent way to much time over thinking stuff when simply following my heart and my God was way more than enough.

Again, welcome brother!

God bless,Mudd

Jeff none that I know of. Jays in Clare. I do believe would be the closest. They have a indoor shooting lane so you could try out. I know they carry Martin, Bear, Pistsley, Northern Mist,Hoyt and some used Bob Lee. I understand the wedding congrads. Flint Bowmen and Land -o-lakes in fenton is by you and they have a lot of guys shooting trad. You can check their web sight. Check the classifieds on this sight. Good luck and best wishes for your new addiction.

Thank you dad for the club info...
I have made a many trip to Jays over the years... BUT... it was for the machine arrow launchers... and Guns.  not for the Traditional side .
When I first started into hunting "MY Dad" used to owned a Sport Shop...  Man them were the days...  spoiled me rotten....  everything was at cost...    :jumper:  
As for hunt Clubs there is one near my home town I need to check into... From some of the people I have chatted with then are more in the modern archery.  (have to check this out for myself).  I was checking to see of there was anything else near by... I know all my searches turned up ZIP_O...  
Almost all the shop I know of in the area are catering to modern archery as well...  

So,,,  It looks like roadtrips or online purchasing

Oh my, a small woodshop in the basement, Bowyer's Bible series, getting back to natural shooting style, man o man, you are in for one terrific journey. Just keep reading these guys post and flop over to the bowyer's bench. It's like the best present you ever got, all you gotta do is open it!
