        Hello from another new guy. I’m just getting started in traditional archery/bow hunting although I have been into archery since 1987. I’m sure I’ll have tons of questions and look forward to learning this “new” way to enjoy the sport.

          Welcome to the board, Tom. Lots of good knowledge freely shared here. I can heartily recommend T.J. Conrad’s book, ” The Traditional Bowhunter’s Handbook” as a great reference.

            Thank you. I’m absorbing a lot just from reading some of the threads here. I can already tell there is a definite science to traditional archery. Something tells me I’m going to be an addict!

            And thanks for the book advice. I’ll be looking that up soon.

                      Kiora,Welcome aboard.
                      As you travel this path your going to find people that like to keep it as simple as possible,and your going to find guys that break things down and start sounding pretty complex in their efforts to understand things they probably don’t “need” to know,but want to anyway,,,,,I’m one of those last guys.

                      Well what ever,we’re all on the same path and both approaches are good for the person travelling them.

                      Take your pick an tell us your stories brother.

                      John.

                        John, I too am “…one of those last guys.” I certainly have nothing against those who wish to keep it simple but, I tend to become very “involved” in whichever endeavor I have chosen. I suspect I am now engaged in a way of thinking which will consume me both mentally, and quite possibly financially, for many years to come.

                        In this instance, I have not to choose as the path I follow has chosen me. Although, being new to traditional archery, I have no stories to tell as of yet, fear not, for I shall surely amass many tails of trials, tribulations and successes as I travel my new path.

                        I’m happy to have a few like minded individuals with which to travel!

                        Tom

                            That’s good to know. My brother and I have spent almost eight hours shooting in the last ten days and I have come to the realization that my instinctive shooting is…well…um…pitiful. I believe I shall have to stop for a moment and assess my situation. I know my form is in need of some serious adjustment. Having never shot sans release adds yet another strata to my already lofty goals.
