Dragonman,
Another Brit welcoming you to the forum and ressuring you that you are not alone in the UK. We now have a primitive class on NFAS, and it is growing in popularity. There are quite a lot of people here who enjoy making and shooting primitive bows. Look up SPTA and PAAS and you'll see two organisations which concentrate on the traditional/primitive type of archery.
It would be good to meet up with one of these days.
