bowstring:
    We moved to S.Fla a month ago, and having a hard time finding any "StickBow Shooters" locally. Is anyone out there?? Getting kinda desparate, as the
 Trad Guys at the local range keep hinting that a nice, new space age Recurve and Carbon Sooper Arrows is the way to go,,,  Me, I'd rather shoot my Hickory
 stick and cedar shafts, but have found myself looking at,, Stuff,, in the catalogs. Help!!! ( Hope this does'nt sound like a "rant", to each his or her own, I say.)
 Still, I am tempted,,,,,  So, if there be a "stick shooter out there, please respond! "bowstring"

sailordad:
bowstring        DO NOT,i repeat, DO NOT give into them.
if you do,next thing uou know someone else will tell ya you need wheels on a bow for it to be any good
stick with your stick,but cant beleive in the humidity down there you choose hickory  :-\

bowstring:
   Sailordad,
Thanks for the response! As to shooting a Hickory Bow in this thick air,, no problems yet,,, I've shot it for most of a day and only took on about 1 1/2 inch of set which disappeared overnight. Lucky, I guess! I'm having more trouble with breaking Cedar shafts though. Different target materials, and lots of Coral in the soil for my misses,, It sure would be nice to find another "Stickman" before I get called to the Darkside. This "peer pressure" kinda takes some of the fun out of goin to the range!!  "bowstring" :D

mullet:
  Where are you at? There's a bunch of us in Florida.

Hillbilly:
Sounds like you need some cane arrows.
