Title: new guy here
Post by: shawnkfl on December 09, 2010, 08:57:00 PM
just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

i've been archery hunting for some time now with compound bows and most likely always will. lately i've been driven by an unknown force to look into more traditional archery. more challenging i think. after researching, i've decided on a recurve. i love the lines of this style. my final decision is to build it myself! what could be more gratifying than building my own bow and then hunt with it! doing more research, i ended up finding this site. i hope to gain knowledge and understanding and meet a few others.

thanks for the space, and thanks to the admins for this gret site. what a wealth of info!

Welcome. My guess is you'll soon forget about the compound. This stuff is addicting.

Keeping the Faith!

Welcome aboard!

If your interested in building your own recurve, check out The Bowyers Bench form.  Lots of good advice there and don't be afraid to ask questions.

If you do end up building your own, you will build another, and another,...and the compound will do nothing but collect dust   ;)

Shawn,

Come shoot with us near Ocala on January 22 and March 4-6.  The March shoot will have vendors and a big turn out.  We have a lot of guys who build their own bows.  Our website is tbof.org I will try to get the new shoot flyers and updates to the site up this weekend.  Feel free to PM me or call me (352) 817-7832.

Be careful. Traditional archery quite easily becomes an addiction.

See your doctor 1st.
