RE: Beating Snap Shootin'

Arthur, the style you shoot with now sounds an awful lot like the style described to me by a Native American at a recent Lewis and Clark festival in South Dakota. He also reccomend drawing a little...

RE: Arrow ?

Looking at your bows, it is difficult for me to tell what type of spine you need. That's probably a bow dependant issue anyway. Still, I'm not sure why the tail would be flying high if it's not a...

RE: Barebow Shooting with Glasses

Grimrapier, I can't really give you any specific advice to help you, but I'm sure there has to be a way to get the arrow under your eye. I struggled with this when I took up traditional archery; not...

RE: wood selection for your bow

I haven't tried drowing a bow either; albeit, I feel like drowning a few of them every now and again...

RE: wood selection for your bow

gapshot, you must really like the heavier drawing bows. I like cocabola too; somebody told me it's the only wood that doesn't float. Don't know if that's true or not, but I think it makes for a very...

RE: wood selection for your bow

I really like Bocote and cocabola for risers. A little over a week ago, I picked up a new longbow with a bocote riser and red-elm limbs. It's classy, but not something that looks flashy. I really...

RE: Crossbows In Kentucky

Arthur, Chad, I don't believe we are that far apart. I don't disagree with anything the two of you have said, but I do lament that that those who love the history of the more primitive crossbow will...

RE: Best long bow $200-$300?

Osage, where do you live? I've found that many local bowyers who build bows for fun, will often times build you a custom bow for about the price range you're looking for. They might not offer the...

RE: Crossbows In Kentucky

Chad, Arthur, I'm going to write a quick reply because my connection keeps timing out. I have no doubt that you both are right and crossbows will continue to become more powerful, more functunal and...

RE: Crossbows In Kentucky

Arthur, I never asked "how a crossbow is different from a modern compound." I respect your opinion and look forward to reading your posts, but please, if you chose to quote me, do it verbatum. I...

RE: Crossbows In Kentucky

Chad I would consider your post a legitemate concern if your example were true for every hunter who used a crossbow. I don't think it is though. There are primitive/traditional archers who don't...

RE: Crossbows In Kentucky

I guess I will go against the grain and agree with Kevin. I've seen arbalesters who used medieval style crossbows, without sights, and to be honest, I can't really see how crossbows can be compared...

RE: Becoming The Arrow

Rangeball, I found the section on getting straight arrow flight and sight pictures the most helpful to me. Like Ferguson said in the book, if the arrow goes straight it has a chance. Shooting...

RE: Bad habit or not ????

In his book, "Become the Arrow," Byron Ferguson actually reccomends that beginners in traditional archery use three fingers under. "Ferguson teaches three-fingers-under to people just learning to...

RE: how tradtional are you

mms, it sounds like you are in the same situation I was four years ago. I didn't know anyone who shot a traditional bow, and no local archery shop offered anything in the way of traditional supplies....

RE: Aiming vs Instinctive

I was actually thinking you were correct, at least according to what Kidwell wrote in his book.

RE: Aiming vs Instinctive

Bigbuck, I disagree that using instincts is better than aiming. I think that an archer should use what works for him/her. If I'm further than fifteen yards, I am not going to take an instinctive shot...

RE: Aiming vs Instinctive

I think Kidwell says something about this in his book, "Instinctive Archery Insights". He says that he cants the bow until the arrow is somewhere between both of his eyes. He says this is necessary...

RE: Aiming vs Instinctive

I've thought about that as well. I can honestly say that where my anchor is located (second molar), that the arrow should always be in my secondary vision. If the arrow isn't in my split-vision it...

RE: Aiming vs Instinctive

What LBR said really hit for me. When I first to archery, four years ago, I bypassed target archery and compound archery for the traditional stuff. I was told the only book I would need to learn to...

RE: how tradtional are you

This is my first post on this forum, and I mention this because I used to post (infrequently) at the Primitive Archer forum. One reason I switched is because I am just not any good at making my own...
