Howdy From Missouri

Hi all!
I built my first longbow when I was 14-15 years old and I've been lurking here for quite some while. I decided I finally needed to join up and draw from all of your expertise. I'll soon be 29, and I'm a knife smith by trade (along with a chainsaw and OPE repair business) now that my contractor days are over. I recently sold two of my woodcraft/bushcraft and hunting puukko knives to a local restaurant and decided I wanted to try a shorter manufactured bow so I bought a Samick Sage 40# and all the fixings a month ago and I love it so far. It's a little higher poundage due to stacking at my draw length (I'm 6'5"). I just wanted to thank all the contributors here for all the useful information and I hope to be an active part of the community and glean what I can from all of you. Looking forward to making many friends. My plan is to practice enough with this new bow to where I feel comfortable using it this archery season and beyond. Thanks again and hi from Northwest MO!

Wow, thanks for the kind welcome guys! You've definitely made me feel welcome! I just strung up a replacement string and am going to let it stretch overnight then shoot it some before installing a nock point tomorrow. Thanks and hi all!

Hey partner not sure where you are but if you are close to St Louis feel free to pm and let's shoot.

I'm up by the Iowa line along I-35 so I'm not really near St. Louis. But if I ever make it that way I'll hit you up, thanks!
