Just starting off in traditional archery coming from compound bow. I have to say that this is highly addictive and i cant seem to get enough of it. I am so happy I dropped the training wheels.

Great choice by joining this site.  I'm new, too and the addiction seems to have set in...first laminated longbow almost done, first board bow in progress, got materials today for leather armguard and a side quiver....  Best folks anywhere are here-they're full of great advice.  Welcome    :campfire:

Welcome.

Two recommendations:
1)read Traditional Bowhunter's Handbook by: TJ Conrads
2)watch Masters of the Barebow DVDs (esp vol.3)

These have been extremely helpful for me getting back into tradtional archery after many years away from it.  There is a wealth of info in them as well as here.  

Happy hunting...
