Hey guys, new to the forum but not really new to traditional archery. Like a lot of guys years ago I learned to shoot archery with a recurve, my father's old Ben Pearson Raider. I have a lot of fond memories of he and I at the nightly "Budweiser shoot-off" empty beer can back field shooting...

Hi all, So I just joined and wanted to quickly introduce myself. I've been bowhunting for 30 years and have been getting tired of the mechanical nature of compounds over the last couple years. So I decided to take the plunge into the world of recurves in hopes of reconnecting with the fun...

Hello folks, I just found this site and liked what I saw so here I am. I've been shooting stick bows for 20 years or so and I most definitely still enjoy it. I'm looking forward to reading everything and posting my own thoughts and experiences. Thanks and happy hunting, D.Brown

So I didnt see the shot, but I heard a loud yell and when I looked over this young fella [late teens/early twenties maybe] fling his compound bow. Next, he throws his release trigger in the opposite direction and storms off...red faced. He was with an older guy, maybe his dad or uncle, who just...

Measured from string to back of bow. 29in. I do plan on using a plunger/blade type rest. My question is would 29.5in be a good arrow length?

I'm going to start making my own laminated bows and want to test several laminations for performance and stability. I am getting conflicting info as I search for Actionboo. Some folks think it is simply vertically laminated flooring and others say there is some made specifically for archery. Any...

Hello, my name is Billy. I'm new to the site and new to trad altogether. I was on the verge of buying a Samick Sage to get the ball rolling (or arrow flying:) and decided to wait and read Viper1's book. Yesterday I pulled the trigger (or released the string:) on a Rambo warf from this site and...

Howdy all. Gun nut, hunter and lurker. Here to take a look around and hopefully learn a thing or two. Building a bow of some sort sooner rather than later as well.

Hey everyone! I'm new here and can't wait to learn some new info on the traditional world. I've been hunting for 15-20 years with a compound but never tried traditional archery. I got the wild urge to give it a try so here I am. I was actually going to buy a cheap recurve to start with but my...

Thought I would say hello. I grew up shooting longbows but gave up archery for a long time. I just recently started getting back into it and picked up an old Shakespeare Wonderbow Necedah recurve to shoot and am now working on converting a Bear Black Bear riser. So I guess I have the passion...

Hey guys, New to this forum, but not to traditional! When I was younger I grew up on a recurve, but was handed a compound and progressed from there! However, as a very avid duck hunter I really wanted to try shooting on wth a bow so traditional started creeping back into my mind. Now, I was...

Received a call from my uncle, asking if I would mind stopping by, and helping out around the house today. I am currently bored out of my mind due to no snow fall. (I plow snow in the winter, landscape in summer) I figure sure, help him out, and we can catch up. After all the work was done, I...

I have been looking at Bear recurves. My consumer training from birth tells me that the 60" Super Kodiak should be a step above the 60" Kodiak. Yet the Super costs less. Why is the Kodiak priced $150 lower than the Super? Thanks
