Default RE: Stick bow,were do I begin?

Good to hear another sportsman has heard the calling of back to the basics. While I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination I would suggest the follow course of action:
First find a local traditional archery club and attend one of their meetings/shoots. Ask questions and I am sure you will find a number of people who will let you draw and shoot their bows. This may give you an idea of what type or make of bow you are looking for. Remember stick bows vary just as much if not more than the compounds so it is definetly a shooters market. Once you have found what you want keep an eye on classifieds or go to a reputable archery shop in search of a good used bow (I reccommend this as an inexpensive step, just in case you decide to change back to compounds). From that point on it is up to you. Take it slow, practice, practice, and practice some more, but remember HAVE FUN!
This is just my oppinion.
God Bless.
Shoot straight, aim well,
and tell tall tales to
good friends.
