New member form Maine
« on: June 15, 2012, 03:42:37 pm »
Hi,
My name is Richard Chase, I live in Gray Maine and have been into archery on and off my whole life and have been a subscriber to Primitive Archer since Issue 1. I was heavily into target archery and bow making in the early 90’s but got distracted and haven’t done much since the mid 90’s, I have recently gotten the itch to get back into both so here I am.

Is there anyone else form the Southern Maine area on here?

Welcome Richard.  This is the place to get that itch scratched! ;D

Welcome, Richard. I, too, was active in the 90's and just got back in the swing last fall and have had a great time! Glad to have you back to the addiction.

Welcome to PA! I too have been an avid collector of the magazine since I was fifteen :) 1995  ::) I joined the online community a little over a year ago and let me tell ya I wish I would have done it earlier. This is the best group of folks you could ask for. I look to seeing some of your work :)

Here is the first bow I made back in 92, it's white Ash and was made from an air dried 2x6 that had the rings parallel to the 2” side so I was able to fallow a ring for the back.  I had some issues with the tillering and it turned out lighter that I wanted so I laminated some Yew hart wood I had to the belly and started over, it's about 46# @ 26” now. This is the bow I have been using since I got back in to archery. I know the Tiller is still not perfect but it shoots nice.
