Flying Dutchman, It's great to hear a story of a traditional archery friendship from the other side of the Atlantic. Thanks for sharing. I see that you like my favorite image.

I married a 1/2 Dutch girl who's mother grew up in Holland. When we finally get there to visit I hope I too am invited to shoot in your personal archery range. Only thing is that I'm really good to 15 yards and that's it. One day!

Thanks for the post...Ryan

Ryan, you are always welcome ofcourse.... now, what bow did you shoot again?  :rolleyes:

Ad, I knew you'd have open arms!

Bows??....I have a small collection of Tall Tines bows (longbow, and recurve....soon to be recurves) I will likely also have another Cari-bow some time this year as I miss my Wolverine. Looking into an Slynx, Peregrine, or Silver Fox...love all of them...Ryan

Ryan, I thought you were shooting a Silver-Fox already. I am saving money for that one... Maybe I should let out my gorgeous body for hire to some beautiful generous women.....  :rolleyes:

Ad...I think you should try that!LOL


One of my best buddies has a Silver Fox that I often shoot....and am always trying to buy off him. Good memory....Ryan

What's your draw Ryan? Iam between 29 and 30 and am wondering if a Silver Fox stacks at that lenght. I think I will have to take a 64"lenght then.

Did you ever compare a Silver-Fox with a Peregrine?

Sounds like a great time, hope you get to visit again

I guess it's true what they say about it being a small world. These times are fantastic.

Well that's just cool

Hi Ad,
What part of the Netherlands are you from?  My wife to be is from Ede and we will be visiting her/your homeland in August.  We have an invite to shoot at an archery club there but I don't recall the name. I'm looking forward to seeing the Netherlands.

I am from the south, about an half hours drive from Antwerpen/Belgium.

Hi Ad,

Am I invited too next time?    
I got some nice bows to show and shoot. You know I live in the eastern part of the Netherlands.

You are always welcome Arnold! Let me know when you're around...

Great people+great bows=great time!!!
 

That's great.      

Now this is a perfect mix of the traditional and the digital! Thanks very much for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed that very much

Awesome story!

What an awsome story!!!! I am so jealous about not being there but the story you wrote is so complete and descriptive that I felt like I was.

However to shoot with two really great shooters like you guys. Well,. I just might have been embarressed if I was there. I think therefore that I will stick to building bows for you to shoot while watching from the sidelines as youyou shoot all those great bows.
I feel really blessed to hear my bow being even mentioned in the same compoany as CAribow and ACH and Centaur Ect.
I did Reccomend those bows and bowyers to Hubert because I do not build a bow that was legal in the class he wanted to compete in. I am designing a bow this year for that so that it will meet the specifications for the longbow. All the ones I build now have too much D and r. Of course that Aand H does too but it is one great bow design.

God bless you all, Steve
