American Warbow Society
« on: June 02, 2011, 06:44:27 pm »
My English Warbow comrades,

A few weeks ago I got in contact with the EWBS secretary in regards to the formation of an American Warbow Society.  I received a reply from the new Chairman, Mark Stretton, stating that the EWBS would be happy to help set a new society here in the States. 

This has been a dream of mine since I first found out about the EWBS, probably a year ago.  Here in the States we have many great archers and bowyers, and I know we could create a strong and lively society.  As some inspiration, there are several societies around the world already including, New Zealand and Holland, that have been very successful.

If you are interested please say so and please add any ideas, comments, concerns or other regarding this notion.

Mr. Stretton has asked for a brief outline of ideas to help him help us in this endeavor.

That's all I have for now   ;D

Thank you!
~Cody

I'm totally new here and new to archery in general, but I ordered a 50 pound training bow and plan on working my way up to warbow status. I'd be happy to be a part of such a society. I'm located in Ohio.

If you need any advice on how to get started, I'll be happy to help. I started up the NZ branch and we're chugging along nicely.

Great Idea!   Love heavy war bows. The Dutch Warbow society just got launched successfully this last year. I know a member of the Dutch group and will email him about this, He shows up here and lurks around from time to time.
Be back soon!

Hi All,  Please keep me informed.  I'd need to build a heavier bow, but it sounds like fun.  Ron

I am new to this forum, plus my money's a little tight (a newlywed) but I would love to join.
Either way congratulations, the first in the usa, please keep me informed as well.
