Greetings Trad Gang! I'm not only a newbie to the forum but to traditional archery and stickbows.
35 or so years ago I first tried archery in the backyard with my dad and later I spent time on the archery range with the Boy Scouts summer camp. We were using production fiberglass (I think?) bows and wooden arrows of the cheapest kind. I really enjoyed it, but no one in my family was really an archer and all the hunting was done with firearms.
So, fast forward to now. I have been visiting the local archery pro shop for about ten years for compound bow needs and every season I pause and admire the beauty of the recurves and longbows. I think I really have the bug now and I have many questions.
So far I have read the New to Traditional Archery paper (great amount of info!) and I have narrowed my choices down to several recurves over the past couple weeks. So, I will keep reading and searching the forum and I hope this is the right section to post additional questions about bows and tack for traditional bowhunting.
