and want to mentor a newbie sometime in 2012 and help him build a bow? I would love to learn the process and build myself a bow. I know this is a huge favor to ask but we could work something out to benifit each other im sure, and i would be extremely greatful.
If it something you would be willing to do PM me please
thanks in advance

Good luck, it sure would be great!!
go over to the bowyers bench and ask I know AKmud does. If your W stands for Walsilla that is where is is at I believe.
Oh wood or glass bows would be the only other question I think you need to answer.
Occasionally.
Where are you at MTAL?
i am in St. Marys, AK right now, but will be moved to Anchorage in the next 2 weeks. and i dont mind driving.
As far as glass or wood bows, i really have no preferance. I would love to learn them all eventually, so any place to start is a good place to start for me :)
Happy New Years

There are a couple of guys who do self bows in the area too. One I know in particular used to offer a self bow building class. Check into cook inlet archers, its a really good local club that holds monthly 3d shoots in the winter.
You could try and contact the Traditional Archers of Alaska: http://www.traditionalarchersofalaska.com/index.html I don't know how active they are. I have been thinking about joining them, and volunteering to take over the maintenance of their website as it is a bit out of date. I might also want to try and carve out my own selfbow!
Cook inlet shoots are the third Sunday of the month. Great time and good people.
