Ah, ok, a members only forum.  I read that the yearly membership for them resets in June, so if I tried to sign up for it now for a yearly membership, it would only go till June.  That's correct, right?  That's an odd membership policy, though I suppose it both discourages casual members and encourages signing up in June or whenever the ideal time is.

Interesting site. 
I notice you have taken the Livery and 1/4lb arrow drawings and text from the EWBS website but not credited it to Jeremy Spencer as it appears there.  The Standard arrow text/drawing is Hugh Soar's work.    Please credit the people whose work you have posted on your site.
Well done to Mark Stretton on his distance shooting world records.  I wasn't aware he'd achieved those so congratulations are due.  What were they for, please?

Diolch,
Jeremy

The EWBS membership is based on shooting member (£20) and non-shooting member (£5) I don't know about registering now and what membership time you would get you could email them directly and ask.

Hi Jeremy
The EWBS stuff (yours and Hugh's stuff) on the Aussie site is nowt to do with me. You'll need to contact them directly as I don't think any of them post on here.

Hi Jeanette!  I'm close to square one as well in warbow shooting (i.e. I do not have a warbow yet I have to work up to that draw weight), so no worries: we'll all get there eventually.

Feel free to join the contact list at:
americanwarbow@gmail.com

And we also have a facebook group here, just ask to be added:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/316734581697101/


So far, I haven't seen any contacts from South Louisiana; the closest members to you are in Texas and florida.  But invite your friends and anyone else you might know in your area that could practice archery with you!
