Title: Hello from Iowa
Post by: GreenwoodBlacksmith on November 08, 2016, 10:26:11 am

I have put up a couple of posts already, but I never properly introduced myself. I live in NE Iowa with my wife & two daughters ages 7 & 9. I have shot traditional archery off-and-on since I pulled an old flatbow out of a dumpster in Hardy Creek, MT as my Dad held me by the ankles at the age of 9.  I started to shoot more seriously in the past 5 years and this year is my first time deer hunting with a bow (up until now I was using a flintlock).  I have successfully made a 50 lbs red oak pyramid board bow an unsuccessfully made a green ash flatbow.  I am not giving up though!  I am sure I will be on here a lot looking for advice.

Welcome to PA!  It's a great community.  I am not too far from you in NE Missouri.  Good luck with your bowmaking and hunting pursuits.  It can be hard with young kids - ours are 13, 11, and 8, and my bowmaking is pretty sporadic lately.  (Do you do blacksmithing by any chance?)
