Title: Shooting the Bows at Denton
Post by: JimL on August 03, 2011, 07:31:00 AM
What a great experience Denton was for me.  I was in New Hampshire visiting just in time to come back by during the meet.  I wasn't prepared to camp comfortably but it was still great.  I shot so many bows I can't even remember which some of them were.  There were bowyers there I never heard of.  I would be out at the range shooting one and someone would bring out someone elses bow and I would shoot it too.  The truth is we are blessed to have so many outstanding bows available to us today.  I have several I have on the list I would really like to order now but am meditating on which one it will be.  Sure is a hard decision.  The bowyers there could work with you and get a good fit and they all shot well.  I didn't see any run of the mill bows.  I didn't shoot or inspect all of them but all I saw were very nice bows.  Another neat thing was the bowyers would freely give you shooting tips while you were there and my shooting got better while there.  If you have never been to a big meet like this you gotta go to one.  Of course if you do it won't be your last one probably.
