Title: Im hooked!!!
Post by: trick00 on February 02, 2010, 07:55:00 PM
Been a wheelbow shooter for 20 years till my 20 yr old son bought a Mamba, started helping him figure it out and man I had to have one. I felt like a kid at Christmas waiting on the UPS guy to deliver my Martin Hunter, got it yesterday and got it tuned today. Just about everything I know about traditional shooting (which aint much) I learned from this sight. Great job guys!!

Its gonna cost me though, now my other 2 sons "need" one. Money well spent in my opinion, just hope the wife sees it that way. Ha

trick,
yeah, more fun ain't it?

I was starting back into archery after a long time off (wheelie back then) and when I checked in the shops all I could find was compounds! Felt more like I was shooting a firearm than a bow. Found this site, bought a used bow from a member, got my OWN bow, and love every shot.
Just FEELS natural.   :wavey:    :wavey:

You're gonna love it!, I shot both wheel bow and stick bow for years, then I finally took the leap and got rid of the wheels, and haven't looked back.  I have so much more fun shooting, hunting, you name it.

Hey trick, I made a deal with my 19 year old son where I will pull his arrows for as long as he wants to shoot in our backyard range. All he has to do is pick up his bow and start flinging arrows, and some times now when he breaks away from the demands of girls, gasoline and college, he takes me up on it. Hard to put it in words, but the best bow and arrow times I have right now are watching him stack arrows. Sure makes me smile. Get all your family (the Mrs. too!) shooting these trad bows, and you will have some great quality family time together.   Welcome

People will tout their custom models with big grins on their face, but you can't do any better than a Martin (Howatt) Hunter for a top line hunting bow.
