The pic of the guy with the Kubota on its side and the Cowboy hat was a friend of mine. Charlie Hampton. Great guy and spend countless hours at the club working and shooting with his 2 daughters. He rolled the tractor trying to off raod the tractor while pulling the new bridge we wer going to install. Earlier in Charlies life he was a motorcycle trials rider. As a result he had a hard time driving ANYTHING will the proper number of wheels on the ground. I remeber hanging off his tractor as he had 3 tires in the air and he refused to get a pull from any help... He got it unstuck i might add one wheeling it.

Unfortunatly Charlie left us at the young age of 45 a few  years ago. Many at the club miss him, his jokes and pranks. Great Guy and awesome father... He died of of a blood clot in his sleep. Not very exciting or some one who could ride a wheelie on ANYTHING farther than i have seen.  :'(

Sounds like great guy , sorry to hear that.

I might check out the club some day, I work weekends so won't make the shoot.

Plus like like to learn by doing stuff on my own, not that I wouldn't mind some coaching, just don't really like large crowds as I'm doing it.

Thanks.

Riverside Archery is Just SE of the intersection of SR536 (old memorial hwy) and Avon Allen less than an 1/8 mile on the South side of the road.  ( West Mount Vernon) :tup:

Tuning a Trad bow and arrows is just as important as with a compound. However a trad bow is usually more tolerant and forgiving IF the archer has a good consistent form. As mentioned previously a solid predictable anchor and steady follow through is vital.

Here is a segment of a video  I made about matching arrows and setting brace height / nock point. The distance is about 30 yards.

Yes to what Scotsman says... get your arrows and point weight matched right to the bow AND your shooting. Brace height can have a big effect on arrow flight too... dont be scared to throw a few twist in the string and try it, then a few more... or a few out (shortens or lengthens string, changing a lot about how the bow affects the arrow.

Jason @ riverside likes to shoot Trad. Not the mention there are several club members that do as well.

Well my wife took me to Riverside wood woop Santa was an early show for me this year.  :archery_smiley:

Ended up getting the Samic Sage Recurve with 40# limbs, and all the goodies to shoot with.

Jason was really helpful on equipment questions, and gear setup.  :tup:

Now I just need to start shooting and get it all in sync.  :drool:

Thanks for all the advice, and knowledge from everyone, but I'm sure I'll just ask more questions now.  :chuckle:

40# will be great. Spend a lot of time shooting "very" close at the blind they say in the trad world. I'm hoping to get  a bow of light lbs to do the same. Keep us up to date  :tup:
