A Shooting Conundrum
recurve shooter:
i went and shot at the local bass pro range. a highschool football player walkin around basspro with a big stick and what looks alot like an insideout rabbit wit arras sitckin outa his hind parts hanging from his belt walkin around bps is about as out of place as you can get. it was alot of fun actually, people seem to be more in aw of the fact that people still shoot those things than insultive(new word) about it. they were even more shocked when i put a half dozen arras in the neck of a 3d deer at 20 yards. (yea, i show off.) just go in and shoot ur stick, no one will be negative ;). of cource bein a 6ft 4 300lb monstrosity gives me alittle more confidnece than most people. ;D
nailbender:
During the winter, I go down to the local Gander Mountain to shoot every now and then. People are always amazed and impressed that someone can make a bow out of a piece of wood. I have yet to encounter someone who is derisive or insulting. Even the guys who run the archery pro shop there are impressed. I would say just don't go into it expecting the worst. You may be pleasantly surprised by the interest people show.

Be proud of your equipment and the fact that you made it.. if they give you any grief ...which is rare, explain to them that you have graduated from the training wheels on your bow and you are a PRIMITIVE ARCHER, hand them the latest issue and see how long before you are joined by others who would like to shoot real bows.
