the end is near

I got a text from Marie today telling me that the server was shutting the PA forum down tomorrow. End of an era! A sad one.

That is really sad news. Really bummed out that this is happening. Thanks to all for tips on making bows. I really enjoyed this sight.

I won't get a chance to post the other bows that I have made in the last 6 months. Good things, and people always seem to suffer in this world.

Yes very sad indeed.  It’s surprising that no sort of arrangement could be had to keep a version of this going.  I get the impression that current owners want nothing to do with it anymore.  Was an offer made or any sort of tabled deal looked at?  I had mentioned to them that I would appreciate an email or call to support financially or be part of a deal with a group of others even.  Was this idea not explored??? I’m sure there were others that were interested too like myself.  To then hear it’s going down tomorrow… I’m hoping that the archives can be revived after the fact once they detach themselves from it perhaps bring it back to something similar hopefully.  It would be a shame to just let all that archived knowledge blow away in the breeze and be lost.   By the sounds of it to hear it’s happening so quickly and no mention of any offers being tried at least that they just want to be done and that maybe offers made not worth mentioning. Idk.  What a shame.

With gratitude I would like to thank all those here at pa that helped me and others like me on this journey of primitive archery.   It’s been my pleasure to associate with you all these last 4-5years.  Thankyou for your guidance and thanks to the forum hosts for having the site up and running as long as it did.  Cheers.  Dave Bradley

Yes the end of an era.  Sorry to read this news and would like to say a huge thank you to all over the years.  Especially the moderators and those that provided so much.

I will miss Life is Good, in particular.

Best to all and thank you for the years.

Really sorry to see this site go. I have been making selfbows for about 7 years now and the information here has been invaluable.

I would like to stay in touch with any Canadian bowyers if possible. I am in Abbotsford, Britiish Columbia. My interests lie in traditional 3D shoots and rendezvous, arrow making and building self bows from mainly yew, vine maple and other locally sourced woods.

Please drop me a line at crcopland@gmail.com anytime.

Thanks Primitive Archer.

I’ve been lurking a bit on Facebook and such. It will be real hard to replace this site and the way it has operated with all the great folks. You can find Selfbowman on the leatherwall for now.

We can all go to leather wall, and post pics, and discuss wood bow making. Arvin ,and some others frequent leather wall, and they will welcome you with open arms. There are many guys over there interested in wood bow making, If all the members here go over there it will still be a great forum to visit as far as wood bow making is concerned. Get over there, and post pics of your bows, arrows etc, and share your knowledge.
