Hi yall. I guess I should tell a little about myself since yall will be seeing alot of me in the future! I am 30 and am married with an 8 month old daughter. I live in north central MS but am from south central LA.
I have about 10 years in the military active and guard. I just got back from Iraq about 2-3 weeks ago and that trip is what sparked my interest in bow hunting. The original thought was to have a weapon I could always carry when I traveled to take advantage of hunting opportunities. I was thinking about getting a compound bow but already owned an old recurve from the 70s.
I asked if anyone hunted with a recurve on a hunting site I frequent. I was turned on to trad archery and this site by stringwacker that I met on MS bull nettler site about 2 weeks ago. I am not sure if he is on here or what he goes by. Great guy and he set me well on my way with trad archery!
I had no idea how much I would enjoy shooting my recurve and am thoroughly looking forward to bow season on oct 1st. I have been thoroughly devouring this site in the last 2 weeks although I have hardly posted. This is a great place and I look forward to getting to know everyone more! :archer: :archer:

A couple of guys in my area are Kirk Barnard (Possum Head) and Shawn Champion (Champ38) we get together from time to time to shoot on home ranges we have set up see link below. Keep an eye out on the forum because i'll post or Kirk will when we plan get togethers.
