Friends call me Pac

That's where I grew up and my dad still lives there.  Me and a buddy went home back in June to bowfish for rays.  When we left my buddy Caleb left his longbow for my Dad to use.  Dad is a complete novice with trad and I'm in Arkansas.

I can only explain so much over the phone.  Dad doesn't have internet so I was wondering if anyone lives near Wilmington (Rocky Point specifically) that might be able to help him get started?

An old hand me down recurve sparked the fire, Trad Gang fanned the flames.  There is no stopping now.  Burn baby burn!

I'm about 3.5 hours away. Wish I could help out.

Dad and I visited Bernie when I went home.  The problem is they are about 1.5 hours apart.  I was hopeing there was someone a bit closer.

When Dad dropped us off at the airport I asked him to go back and check our rooms to make sure we hadn't forgotten anything.  When he got back home he found that Caleb had left his longbow as a gift for dad.

He has arrows and told me he has been shooting.  He said at 20 yards he is doing real good but at 10 he keeps shooting high.  I got to thinking about that and figured it out.  caleb shoots 3 under and dad shoots split fingered.  The nocking point is too low.  

Something like that I now can think of and understand how it works thanks to what I've learned here on TG but to dad this is all brand new to him.

I doubt he will ever get a computer otherwise I'd have him on here.OBXarcher I appreciate the offer but that would be a long haul for you too.  I really appreciate it though.
