First recurve and i need advice

[Peewee]

I purchased my first recurve and would really like to spend about a hr with a experienced traditional archer to show me the basics so I don't develop bad habits and learn the right way etc... I live in the Elma area and would be willing to pay for someone's time, cash or maybe some elk intel and or meat...let me know fellas, thanks

not sure if your a Facebooker but there are 2 options.
Traditional Bowhunters of Washington, or there is a very active crowd on the Washington State Archery Associations FB group that can help hook you up with some one close by.

hope that helps

If you like to read, pick G Fred Asbells books on instinctive shooting. They will teach you the proper form.

Peewee ... try searching Youtube, you'll find just about anything you need to know about shooting a stickbow.

If I lived closer I'd offer to help you.  Good luck!

A good video and remebering that archery is all about consistant repetition will take you a long way. Just the smallest change in anchor, grip ect can cause a change.
