I started bowhunting with a Bear recurve back in the early 70's . Got side track for about 10 yrs and pick it back up about 89-90 with my first compound and thought "What have I been missing?" In around the same time I got my first computer and was an instant techie info archery junkie. I couldn't get enough info about the technology of archery and the compound. My first archery/bowhunting site I found was Bowhunting .net then Bowsite a few others that are gone now and finally here @Hunting.net. 99% of my knowalge and experence in archery is self taught. I worked in a shop for a short time to off-set some cost but didn"t agree or like what I saw so I slowly put a shop together in my basement.

I think I understand what PW is saying about a little knowadge and misinformation. I don't think people intentionally give bad information. I think a little knowadge is sometimes damaging. I'm sure I've been guilty of it myself. Thanks to people like PW,Jeff,Arthur,Len,Pabowhntr and many others here and all the sites I've haunted the knowadge base is endless. Short of engineering my own bow there is nothing I won't do for myself or others who may ask. My wife keeps telling me to open my own shop. My answer to that is as soon as I do that my passion is now a job and I'll soon start to dislike archery. I like it just the way it is. Jerry
