Welcome home. I am nowhere near far enough along to build a bow, but I love to see people's first time efforts at it and arrow making too, for that matter.
Welcome! Good luck on the build.

There is an archery club near you, Northern Virginia Archers, and the fees are cheap. Now you have a place to shoot! You an also bring your stave out there and sand and tiller and try out all in one place.
It is located near Clifton, VA, at the entrance to Fountainhead Park.

Welcome to the tradgang family!
If you're just getting started in traditional archery you should shoot over the St Judes' Auction site.
There's a bunch of stuff there you can use and it'll be helping the children.
God bless,Mudd

Let the learning begin
O.K. I love this site. I haven't even done anything except mention I was going to build a board bow,probably not the most difficult build, and I have gotten more encouragement than I ever expected. So if I was going show pics of me mangeling a piece of wood and calling it bow making where would I post it? Or do I need to have so many posts before I can post a pic.
Welcome to the gang and good luck on building your bow
