Lovely work Tailfeather, hope all that local spirit and craft brings successful hunting. Can you inform an out-of-towner what plant you get the cane from for those arrows. Looks almost like bamboo? I believe Jay Massey was a big fan.
Welcome to the trad world. I’ll second Prowler on the Samick and the light limbs to start. I started out with 30lb limbs and it was best thing I ever did as form is the foundation on which all trad shooting is based. Picked up 45lb limbs cheap and I’m currently shooting those. Hope to move on to a custom bow over the next couple of years once I have the money and my ability can justify it.
Happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year to everyone here at Tradbow and to all your family and friends. Let’s hope our arrows fly true in 2013 ➡
Fortunately Dave Finland does have legal bowhunting. It’s somewhere I’m thinking of trying for a bowhunting holiday. I spent a bit of time in Sweden as a student and loved the Scandinavian people and country. Welcome Sebastian!
Great tips as always Arne. Your advice on keeping the draw hand wrist bent outwards saved me no end of trouble in keeping the arrow tight to the riser. So simple yet so effective. Thanks!
