hello guys, i'm Mike.. new here not sure where this would go.
also new to the whole selfbow thing, been studying up on it for a while now, i'm 20 years old and cut trees for a living (bow wood!) i'm the only one in my family who hunts, i'm self/internet taught, and passed hunter education when i was 12, got my first deer kill that year as well! (12g shotgun) got my first bow kill when i was 14, with a compound bow (i'm good with those 1" groups at 40yards)
i ordered a longbow its a hickory backed osage bow 72" NTN #50 @30" i pull 28" so #40ish for me.
i've been shooting it for a couple weeks now and i can get 5-8" groups at 20 yards...i think this is really my thing..i've always wanted to live primitively since i was 10 or so watching tarzan!
like i said i've been researching for a long while and know most of it on paper...just have to actually do it!
just an introduction of myself, hope to be a big part of this community!
P.S the woods i can get are: Hackberry, Live oak, Pin oak, Chinese tala(sp?) Crepe mytrle, Pecan, Ash...thats about it off the top of my head...not much osage around here...thinking i want to try hackberry as my first attempt.
