First Timer Qustions
« on: June 24, 2011, 10:39:42 am »
Hi,
I'm new to the site and the art of archery.  I became familiar with archery through martial arts training and a cousin's compound bow.  But primitive bow has captured my imagination.  So any advice, training, websites etc that can be helpful in my growth would be appreciated.  Also any primitive bow for sale sites would help alot ( looking for pyramid, recurve, flat bows first, then longbows.) Again thanks for the add and looking forward to the site.    
If a guy can fire 3 arrows 125 meters he not only deserves his own movie.  He deserves his own reality show!!!

You're in the right place for everything you mentioned.  Just stay right here and try to absorb as much as possible.

There are MANY bows available from members of this forum and advertisers.  You can trade or buy.

Your profile doesn't give a location.
Can I assume it's not the UK?

Thanks for the hospitality guys.
@ Del: you assume right I am not from the U.K..  I am from across the pond in the States, also I am checking out the site now.

@Soy: I have heard of series and am currently looking for it. Thanks and if you know anymore books please let me know.

@Buckeye Guy: the 1974 is my birth year and I am a nut for sticks with strings as well.
I hope to hear more from you guys and to learn more.
