Old newbie

B.Barker · March 31, 2017, 09:02:00 PM

Hey guys I have a Grizzly recurve coming and haven't shot a stick bow in over thirty five years. I don't remember much of what I once knew about shooting one. I plan on getting carbon arrows to start with but would like to shoot wood ones. I like old stuff. I build and hunt with flintlocks and believe in wood ramrods not fiberglass. Because fiberglass and flintlocks just don't go together. Any ways I'm wondering if there is any one here that lives around Casey county Kentucky that would be willing to help a guy out. I need all I can get.

Just brought the Tradfest thread back up. Brian, it's right off 68 between Perryville and Harrodsburg. 100 Whites Ln. At the Mercer county Fish and Game club. I live in Richmond, but I'm over in lebanon and Springfield quite often. I would be more than glad to meet up and do some shooting. Plus , you can join the KTBA we have all of our 3D bow shoots there once a month. Looking forward to seeing you there.
