Hello from D.C. area

Ringeck85:
thank you all so much for the welcome!

Yeah, I know I have a big wish list; gotta wish big, no?  I may not be able to get to all of that stuff immediately, but an interest is an interest, and I'm definitely interested for the long run to learn as much as I can.  I envision some day writing a book about medieval archery the world over, sort of a compendium of different styles and designs, with reliable practical experience in each style.

Parnell, I think I'll take your advice as to starting with a flatbow, it looks perhaps a little simpler to make (not to mention a little cheaper) than starting off with a traditional war bow design, and I've read in some of the threads that ash and hickory (probably the best hardwoods in my area to find for bow making) are well designed for flat bows.  It would be a great place to start.

I'll definitely keep my eye out on the threads here for advice, and I think I'll definitely try to get involved with the plans/interest for starting an American Warbow Society.

I did want to ask again, does anyone practice or know anyone who either practices traditional/primitive archery or bow making in the D.C./Northern Virginia/Southern Maryland area?
