Title: Any guys from PA on here??
Post by: pfrantz on June 03, 2009, 06:53:00 PM
I'm a green horn when it comes to Traditional archery.  I've been shooting for about a week now, and I think I am doing a good job with it.  I can group my 6 arrows in the vitals at about 15 yards.  I'm hoping to find someone experienced in the area that might be able to help me out a little.  I don't have a way to video and share it online, so I was thinking this would be the best alternative.

Hey Paul, welcome.  I'm not too far away myself.  In fact, I'm in your neck of the woods a couple times a month to play golf.  Fire away with any questions, great bunch here...Mike

Thanks for the welcome guys.  I am putting together a list of questions as I spend more time shooting.  I could really use someone to help check on my form while shooting.  Let me know if anyone would be interested in getting together to shoot a little.  What I'm doing feels right, but you never know, cause I cannot see myself.

I'm two hours west of you in Bedford County.  The Hershey area has several clubs and I'm sure there is a traditional shooter or two thereabouts.

pfrantz,  Is this the Pine Grove near Oil City?  If so that's where I grew up and my Mom still lives there.

Jerry Jeffer, I'm on my way to the Poconos tomorrow starting vacation.  Any trad shops out that way?

Great guys, thanks so much for all the information on the shoots.  I look forward to meeting some of you at them.  I'll be the guy with the alluminum arrows clanking thru the woods on all the missed targets.  

Longbowman, I must be in the other Pine Grove, I'm not sure where Oil City is.

It's in the N.W. corner just below Erie.  If you come to the ETAR in July look me up.  We'll be camped just off the left of the main entrance and we'll be playing music as long as people are around to hear it!

I'm in Winfield, just outside Lewisburg. I'll second Demton Hill, you don't want to miss that one. Also a great little trad shoot at Shade Mt Bowmen in Beaver Springs in early Sept.(?) Craig (monkeyball) could fill you in on that one. Welcome, from another Paul.

Hey longbowman, there used to be one near here, but the guy went out of business.
