Tony, Fellow Delawarian!! The New Castle Archery club have traditional shoots every now again. They advertise in many of the local shops. Go to the shoot and ask for some pointers. Try out some of the bows. All trad. guys love to show off their equipment. Next, in May, the Traditional Bowhunters of MD have a big shoot called the Mid-Atlantic Traditional Classic. Great shoot with a lots of good venders selling both new and used equipment. Additionally, up near you across the MD line is a guy name Joe Subolefsky. He is a custom bow maker that got alot of pointers from Schafer. His bows are maketed under the name Timberspirit. He has a web page. Get in touch with him. He is a wealth of knowledge!! Last, I have a Schafer Silvertip Paul made for me back in 1990. Its a good shooter. Your welcome to try it out sometime!
