So I got bitten by the archery bug...
HatchA:
JW... go raibh maith agat :)
Lowell... As with Markinengland, there's no bowhunting in Ireland either :( Hunting season for deer in Ireland is coming to a close (though it varies from type to type - http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/travel-and-recreation/recreational-activities-in-ireland/sport-and-leisure/deer_licences ). Over here we do field archery though a lot of clubs seem more influenced by target shooting than true field archery... nice clear lanes, circular targets on the animals, distances marked off etc...
I've joined Lonewolf as it seems to suit my needs/wishes and they have no problem telling the training wheels etc, where to go, when they want to! :) (nothing wrong with compound... it just ain't "traditional archery" to me. Not wanting to step on any toes).
Mullet.... What can I say... I'm truly sorry for your loss :'( Most of my pieces are modern reproductions with the exception of a broadsword I designed and got hand-forged by a smith on the Isle of Skye in Scotland a few years ago and an archer's dagger, made by the same guy just a couple of weeks back. I'm more interested in the aesthetics than practical use, though. I respect swords enough to not try learning swordsmanship with a half-assed attitude. Maybe some day though...
Thanks for the welcome guys :) I think I'm going to like it here!
Steve.

Howdy Hatch, it is, (and I say this a good bit) "a wonderful addiction". Bettween string building, bow building, arrow making, and what all, it can really hook you in.

Steve, I can honestly say from experiance that playing with sharp blades half- ass is not a smart move, or, even after a few Guiness'. ;)
Cromm:
Hi HatchA,
You will enjoy your time here. If you can you should put some photos of the bow you made on here. And I would like to see the Archer's dagger you had made too.
Thanks for your time.
Cromm from the east of England.

Ah that oul' shite!! hehehe I never took to it. I drink Jack and Coke if I'm socialising (rare occasion...) but also love a good Scotch - prefer it to Irish whiskey :-\ or good red wine.
My dad's a guinness drinker. Has been all his life. He always told me "...it's an acquired taste..." but I like to think that if yiou force yourself to drink something disgusting for long enough, you'll eventually "acquire a taste" for it ;D so I just drink what tastes nice ;)
Question for you, Mullet... are you named after the fish, or the hairstyle...? :)
***EDIT(***
will do, Cromm
