Hello everyone! New 21 y/o archer here just got started yesterday went to the local basspro and picked up a grizzly recurve and practicing in the backyard.
Despite everyone telling me to go compound I felt I should stick to what I wanted and not regretting it so far! Although I already destroyed my own a/c...nice.
anyways I hope to have a good time! Im a forum noob here so yeah :/ I hope I started topic in right place.
Welcome to the gang
Hi there-Hap
Enjoy the ride-it will be a fun lifelong adventure.
So much help here for you. Just ask away and you will get answers. I have been fifty hers and I get a lesson here daily. Love this place and welcome
Welcome! Have fun shooting.
Great to have you onboard....I destroyed my Mom and Dad's a/c when i was around 14...made me a spear wth a 16 penny nail for the sharp end and chunk it towards the house somehow it found the evaporator coils :dunno:
Good choice!! :thumbsup: :archer2:
Great choice, you won't be sorry. Your A/C might be though. :)
Welcome Christopher. Find You a Trad shoot close and go to it. Ask lots of questions and don't be shy.
Everyone I've met in the Trad community no matter where it was have always been helpful. Good luck

Welcome from Arkansas! :archer2:
Congrats & Welcome. :wavey: Sorry about your A/C! :thumbsup:
Welcome from KS! Once you get going don't be afraid to put a form video of you shooting on the shooters forum and ask to be critiqued. Helped me more than I can express. This site is awesome! :campfire:
Thanks guys, Im shooting at 45lb 58 inch grizzly recurve the one that now has red-tinged wood instead of the beige color? And the guy at the shop set me up with 250 carbon arrows and standard field tips with composite feather fletchings. The arrows are not cut down since im almost 6'3" so yeah lol
The funny thing is I didnt shoot the a/c im just a walking disaster..as i pulled my arrow outta the back quiver another one caught it and got flipped out. It flipped and slid straight inbetween the a/c grill in front of god and everybody and the blades cut the arrow in half causing the tip to ricochet into the condenser area...freon gas everywhere lol
Welcome and good choice going with the stick bow. You will love the way it allows you to hunt, not just shoot.
Welcome and great choice for your first bow. Enjoy
Congratulationjs, you have just joined an elite (and perhaps eccentric bunch of folks). Many people told us to go to the compund bow also. In fact, many did, but have come around to the traditional side of life. It is a great place to be. Spend lots of time practicing and lots of time on Trad Gang. You will find many, many people here to give encouragement and sound advice. You can learn a lot of useful stuff here, and not all of it only about archery and bowhunting but about solid personal values. Its good to have you aboard.
Enjoy the world of Trad archery.
You are bold starting without training wheels.
Trust the bow, be the arrow and enjoy.
Sounds like you have my kinda luck! Welcome to the Gang! :campfire:
Welcome! You chose well. Lots of fun in your future. :campfire: :archer2:
The broken a/c and 2 holes in my fence serve as the price for no training wheels XD you know what though I find it pretty crazy how powerful it is at 45lbs.
Ima start to look up in the shooters area for advice and whatnot :D
Welcome :clapper: :clapper:
