Some of you guys might remember me asking about a 1964 Bear kodiak I wanted to buy. Well I bought it and now i am ready to start learning this traditional archery "thing".

As I am talking to folks locally and going to the range to get proficient at shooting and learning all I can about traditional archery I don't want to sound too much like a newbe. If you guys could be so kind and let me in on some of the traditional terminology.

One I keep hearing a lot is stacking. I am assuming that is when the limbs reach their maximum ammount of flex and as you keep pulling you actually start pulling against the riser instead letting the limbs do the work????? Also how do I know if Ithe bow is stacking?


Also could you guys recomend some of the basic equipment to get me started. The bow is 60", 55# draw and my draw length is 30". I am assuming that I would be drawing around 60# at 30"

Which arrows are easiest to get flying good (alluminum, carbon, wood)? I assume alluminum would offer the most options with out getting too fancy. What would be a good all around total arrow weight to aim for?

Some quiver reccomendations would be nice too. There will be no drilling holes in the bow to attach anything.[X(]


Basically give me the low down an traditional archery.[:-]


Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
