Title: Another newb dropping in ...
Post by: dscott on January 04, 2011, 04:36:24 PM: Well gents,
I've been lurking for the past couple weeks and I think you guys have a great forum here.
It's been far, far too long since I strung my bow and headed off into the woods. So long in fact that I find it hard to call myself an archer :bash:
Anyway, I've been into traditional gear, hunting and 3d shoots in the past and it's high time to get back to where I left off. I shoot a 55# Howatt Hunter and I'm dying to start pulling the thing again... 3-4 more weeks while a pair of ribs heal and I can begin.
In the mean time, I'll keep poking through the site and try not to be a PITA

There are a lot of knowlegeable folks on here. Seems like most of the archers are compound, but a few of the trad guys pipe up ocassionally. Always good to check in and see whats going on.

Thank you both for the welcome. The clubs/shops list will be an immediate help!
I was reading through a thread re: 3d shoots and the difference between comp and trad shooters... looks like nothing has changed there :chuckle: . That said, I have nothing against 'em ... might even buy one

I WILL contribute ... in a worthwhile fashion? Well, I'll do my best :)

Ratdog,
I just read through your bow building thread on AT. Very, very nice! Nice enough to make me pull out my Trad-Bibles and ... well, we'll see :)
