I can't wait I haven't been into trad archery for that long bout a year. I hope I haven't picked up to many bad habits. I already shoot 3 under I anchor the way he does and have watched every youtube video on it. I hope he can help me out. Mike

Mike that is great!  Rick will help you out. Very good decision on your part to go to him early in on in your traditional shooting. Plus Rick is a great guy and a lot of fun.

Most cool Mike right where it counts! (Get it?) Heard much of Mr. Welches shooting instructions. One of the best. Great family you have there!

Please let us know how it goes.  I really want to attend one of his classes also, but finding it difficult to find the time.

I attended last April and it was one of the best decisions I have made for my trad shooting.  Rick WILL make you a better shot.  No doubt, you will enjoy the school and Rick's company.  He is an excellent teacher.

Have fun and congrats!

Trying to get on Rick's schedule for August or early September so that I'll be better prepared for deer season.  I'm like you in that I've only been shooting traditional since December.

Started with a Hoyt Buffalo, but now up to Thunderhorn, Morrison, Big Jim and coming in July, a Jim Neaves Centaur.
Building my own arrows, and even have my wife shooting a recurve.  Boy, this is fun!

Let's hear how the class goes!

I have a bunch of different bows to shoot but, I am really wanting to shoot one of his bows, has anyone on here got one or have shot one, also does he make long bows to?
