That's where I grew up and my dad still lives there. Me and a buddy went home back in June to bowfish for rays. When we left my buddy Caleb left his longbow for my Dad to use. Dad is a complete novice with trad and I'm in Arkansas.
I can only explain so much over the phone. Dad doesn't have internet so I was wondering if anyone lives near Wilmington (Rocky Point specifically) that might be able to help him get started?
I'm about 3.5 hours away. Wish I could help out.
I think Tradgang members Batman and ber643 are near Wilmington.... :thumbsup:
Up in kitty hawk. I could help
Dad and I visited Bernie when I went home. The problem is they are about 1.5 hours apart. I was hopeing there was someone a bit closer.
When Dad dropped us off at the airport I asked him to go back and check our rooms to make sure we hadn't forgotten anything. When he got back home he found that Caleb had left his longbow as a gift for dad.
He has arrows and told me he has been shooting. He said at 20 yards he is doing real good but at 10 he keeps shooting high. I got to thinking about that and figured it out. caleb shoots 3 under and dad shoots split fingered. The nocking point is too low.
Something like that I now can think of and understand how it works thanks to what I've learned here on TG but to dad this is all brand new to him.
I doubt he will ever get a computer otherwise I'd have him on here.OBXarcher I appreciate the offer but that would be a long haul for you too. I really appreciate it though.
