Trying out Traditional Archery
Today I went out to the ridgedale club and a helpful member agreed to let me try his traditional long bow that he built himself along with his yellow cedar arrows.
limbs were made of elm wood and had a 55# draw at 28".
I really liked the feel of it although it was more laborous than a compound bow set at 70#. But the natural feeling was refreshing.
I had good success meaning I hit the target most of the time. I am quite positive of learning to shoot traditional archery, especailly seeing it was my first time shooting with traditional archery tackle.
I am hoping that my wife gets me a long bow for my birthday so I can practise for future hunts with it.
I will go out next thursday and shoot the bow a little more.
