Shiloh:
Hey everyone! I just stumbled onto the primitive archer boards a couple days ago while doing some research into the English Longbow and immediately signed up. I'm a freshman in college, and got into traditional archery in 2009 when I started making board bows (which I still do to this day) and am currently trying to finish a bow before the archery deer season closes. Up to this point I've only built basic flatbows/American longbows in the #30 to #50 range, but the next project I want to tackle is an english longbow/warbow.

Anyway, that's pretty much me in a nutshell. I can't wait to do some reading and get to know you folks a lot better!

Adam:
Welcome!  I'm sure you'll learn a lot here as I have.  Everyone is so willing to help out and share their knowledge.

Pat B:
Welcome to PA, Shiloh. Like Adam said there are lots of friendly, helpful folks here that are willing to share what they know.
 How about posting pics of some of your bows.

Welcome to the addiction!

I have family scattered across western WA from Bremerton to Kelso/Longview.  What part of WA are you in?

I'm in Lake Stevens, which is just a few minutes north of Everett. Thankfully it's close enough to college that commuting isn't a hassle, especially on the bus.

In reply to Pat B - Unfortunately my most recent bow (a red oak board I tried to turn into an ELB) snapped completely at mid-limb, due to some poor design choices on my part. The other one, which I named "Ugly as Sin" recently took a crack in the upper limb, so I retired it to the shelf on my wall.  :'( But for being my first succesful bow after breaking four before it, it did surprisingly well for the two and a half years of its life.
