New bow club

(1/4) > >>

Justin Snyder:
I just heard they are starting a new club here in town with a shooting range.  The problem is they have opened it to wheel bows. I don't want to sound stuck up or anything, but sometimes the wheel bow shooters over run everything.  I don't know if I want to join or not. What do you think. Justin

jamie:
justin nothing irratates me more than shooting with wheels lately. my club is 75 percent wheels . there is always room in the clubs for improvement and thats where you come in. you'll be amazed at how many eventually decide to try shooting a stick. when you have time bring a bow to work on so they can see it. offer to teach others to build their own. even if it meens holding classes. light the fire. peace

Justin Snyder:
You are right Jamie. I have a set of snake skins and a beaver tail grip. I need to make me a good snake bow to get attention, then go shoot with them.  I think Ill take a couple of extra bows for them to shoot.  Justin

Pappy:
justin,at one time years ago our club was all wheels except me and a couple of others,now it isn't all selfbows but it is all trad.Longbows,recurves.There are 3 or 4 out of 28 that will hunt with wheels sometime if they miss a couple at the beginnig of the season but most Trad. gear is all the own now.They watch you and see how much fun it is and most times that is all it takes.

Justin Snyder:
Pappy, sometimes I wounder if most of these guys would make better shooters if they shot instinctive anyway. Some are really good shots, but others spend so much time messing with gadgets that they couldn't hit a barn if they were locked inside.  I know they would be happier. It would allow them to enjoy the shooting and friendship instead of worrying about all the trinkets.  Justin
