Title: New guy from NC
Post by: Sam Mashni on March 11, 2015, 10:09:00 AM
Great site. Have been enjoying site for awhile. Been slinging arrows for about 18 months. I must have an addictive personality, cause my wife told me i have to join Tradbow Anon. I alredy have 5 bows. 2 HOYT GM, and 3 ILF that i bought the riser and limbs (TT APEX AND RCX, AND BLACK MAX LIMBS), and have learned to make Flemish twist strings...... I don't know she might be right.....i've got it bad....
Anyway, howdy from western NC   :archer2:

Howdy right back at 'ya from Central NY.    :wavey:   I hate to be the bearer of bad? news Sam, but there is no cure for your disease. Therapy does seem to help, get out and shoot/hunt as much as possible.   ;)

Welcome from Buncombe County ,Sam! turkey season opens in a month, so get those broadheads sharp!
Many cases of ABCD (Acute Bow Collecting Disorder) wear themselves out in a year or 5 or 10. 5 bows sounds about right to me.

Welcome Sam. There is a club near Hickory that is all traditional by the name of "Carolina Traditional Archery". It's a great club. There is a club shoot about once a month, and the friendship and food are both excellent.

Sam, You can Google Carolina Traditional Archery to find out the history and events there. The next monthly shoot is April 4. I don't go as often as I'd like to, but there are usually 50 or more people attending these monthly shoots. It's a fun event and there is a lot of talent among the membership. There are several bowyers, others making arrows, leather work, stone knapping, etc. It's a good place to have fun and to learn. They are the largest and oldest traditional archery club in both of the Carolinas.

There is another trad club near where I live in Mebane. It's a smaller club, but has a nice setting in the woods. Barefoot Traditional Archers (formerly Sissipahaw) has 3 open shoot events each year. Google Barefoot Traditional Archery to find out more info. They are only 12 mile away so I usually make at least two of the three events. Like Carolina Traditional Archery, the people are friendly, and the food is great.
