Long time away but I remembered this thread the last time I was here and had to comment. Doegirls thread was not a modern archery bash. It was a piece about how she saw things pertaining to a traditional bow. She didnt say ANYTHING that was not a fact and thats about the extent of it. What...

I am saying that for sure. A bow every ten years may be very different but each year?.... no... not at all. The improvements over the ten year period also (generally) offer no more material and only differing design modifications, so to say that you are getting what you are paying for is not...

You're kidding right?. This thread was in no way meant to be an attack on anyone. You (and others) have read into this what you felt. There are others here who have seen just what the author was saying but you and those who share your thin skin want to accuse Doegirl of being an elitist simply...

Look into the wagner long bows or martin recurves. both great quality bows for the money. My favorite recurve from Martin is the mamba and it is not expensive for the bow that it is. Look on ebay for a used mamba or Bear Kodiak Magnum would be my recommendation.

Well!... Look at what we have here!! :D For those that think Doegirl is an elitist... You couldn't be any further from the fact of who and what she is. I know just what she meant because I have heard her say this to my face and we have talked about her views at length. She is hardly an...

Orange peanut?... For me?!

Keep at it. Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. :)

Funny :D

Maxima is the best IMO but too expencive. I am using the Victory V3 myself

Get larry Wise's book on tuning and a few tools. You will be glad you did. http://www.larrywise.com/books/

That is pretty darn cool :)

Just got a Fedora T/D 66# which is 58# at my draw length. Great bow but I am going to have to have Mike make me some 76# limbs before long.

Sorry to hear that COB. :(

This is about the size of it. I generally spend the first of the season with the traditional bows and if I haven't filled the freezer by the end of the first two weeks, I will then consider the compound. Some years I will even take up the crossbow if I just dont have time in the day and can set...

Recently, Fred Eichler told me that the average yardage for a killing shot that was recorded in the P&Y books was 23 yards. The shot distance average that was acceptable back 50 years ago was 30-50 yards. Same reported success rates as today by the way ;) With practice (lots) 30 yards isnt...

Got the Fred Bear collection last week and have been watching it over and over. In more than one show, Fred or one of his friends are seen smoking a pipe or cigarette during the hunt. Many times they are wearing nothing more than a button down shirt which range in color from off white to grey. I...

Welcome to the site

Who is going to join me this year?. I am hoping that Doegirl will at least try and go out with her longbow this deer season and she is certainly going to try a hog from a blind next month. Aside from us... Who is in?.

Going to the traditional rendezvous this weekend. Going to be looking for a 90 - 100# Longbow while I am there. Hopefully Howard Hill archery will have a booth. Want to try one of those heavy weights in my hands if I can. :)
