Title: New Colorado Member
Post by: TenkaraGrasshopper on August 04, 2015, 03:05:00 PM
Hello all,

I am super excited to have found this forum. I am returning to my old hobby of building and shooting traditional bows and arrows. I wanted to introduce myself in hopes of making some new friends. I am originally from Wisconsin and have now been in Colorado for over 20 years. I look forward to chatting with you all in the very near future.

Howdy TG and welcome!

There are quite a few Coloradans here and not a few of us are transplants from elsewhere.  We're up in Red Feather near the WY border and have been here right at 20 years ourselves.

You're going to love this forum.  Knowledge, wisdom and fun in equal parts - and about the best admin team I've ever seen.

Again welcome and jump right in!

Jack

Gehrke145 give me some time to get "Eve" in shape and I might take you up on that. "Eve" is in the developmental stages or shaping stages as you might say. I will be posting on the Bowyers Bench with her progress here very soon.

A LOT of Wisconsin folks show up in Colorado in early September.

Thanks guys for the warm welcomes. The season starts next week for bow and I am not going to be able to go this year at least as a hunter.   :mad:  But family comes first. I know next year will be better because I will have a few more bows to choose from as well as a number of homemade arrows that I am currently working on.    ;)  

I look forward to meeting some of you who live in Colorado and elsewhere.

Here is "Eve" at a 24" draw still in the rough tillering stages right now. Have to wait for the new string to come in as I bought the wrong one earlier last week!    :banghead:  But a string is being made and I should be on my merry way for next year.    :archer:    :pray:    (https://instagram.com/p/65ksDgKOoq/?taken-by=morangraham)
