Ask all the questions you need to ask right here. I joined HNI a few years ago. My username then was Txrookie and for good reason. I didn't know a thing about bows, arrows, archery, bowhunting, or much else for that matter. i have made quite a progression since I've been here. I own a bow press now as well as an arrow saw, a fletching jig, etc. I do all of my own work now and everything I learned I learned here. I'm still a novice compared to many of the guys around here but I'm a far cry from the greenhorn I was. Good luck.
