Flakescarred4life I know exactly how you feel. Just a little over 10 months ago I was in the same boat. I'd never met another knapper, or had seen another self bow let alone someone who shoot them. I went to the Primitive Archer Meet at Marshall Michigan. It was great. There's gotta be something or someone you can get together with. These meet are worth the drive. Many of the people attending drive very long distances and they come back year after year. I highly recommend if at all possible to get to one of these events. I don't think you would regret it. They are all very family friendly to and make a great vacation. Hope you can make it to some.
