DE Bowhunter, I would suggest taking DE Bob up on his offer. That is how I started out, a friend of mine from KS (I live in CA) who I met online at an old bowhunting web site sent me an old Bear Minuteman to try before I invested in my own recurve. He is now a longtime dear friend, along with his wonderful wife and kids, more like family than friends. Oh yeah, the bow... After a couple of months I did buy my own recurve. I haven't looked back, now I have several curves & an open invitation to hunt KS whitetails.

That is the spirit of traditional archery. You start out to try something new or simple, but receive many unknown blessings along the way.

The friendship and comraderie is the greatest blessing though. Even though my friend from KS helped me with my traditional start, he shoots a compound. Doesn't matter to me. Like I said, the friendships are the best part.

YBIC,
