Attracting new members to PA

I’ve thought about that also as I have joined several Primitive archery type of Facebook pages. My concern is if you read through the posts there is a very high percentage of people “offering advice” that I’m betting have never even attempted to build a bow. A lot of false knowledge I would be concerned about. How do you separate the people that want to be serious from the so called experts?
Yeah, like the guy arguing with me that yew was denser than oak. LOL! (But ChatGPT said...)
Badger:
Good points Arvin. I don't have to jump through any hoops on my computer and don't see many pop-ups. I wonder why it is a different experience for some of us? I haven't tried it on my phone yet, and I know most people use their phones. It sounds like we need something that could set us apart. Some of our old crew have gone silent, while others have gone professional. What about a weekly or monthly thread where different bowyers would be featured, they would introduce themselves and answer questions based on how they do things, or even talk about mistakes they had to learn from? whatever?

That might be the good part. As long as debate stays civil encourage it. Nobody has to pull punches just no hitting below the belt.

I use a Chromebook with the Chrome browser - I get no pop ups at all when I'm on PA.
Other computers running Windows 10 or 11 I get all kinds of pop ups.
Eric Krewson:
I pay $35 a year for an ad blocker that blocks ALL pop-ups and advertisements on all of the sites I visit.
As much as I hate pop-ups, I feel this is money well spent. One time my blocker needed to be re-installed, I was without it for a couple of days, I couldn't believe how many pop-ups showed up, 5 or 6 every time I went from one page to another.
