Hi everyone I'm new to selfbow building other than the sapling bows that my friends and I built as a kid. I do shoot glass Longbows. I have studied a lot of build a longs from your website and  enjoy learning from everyone as it is a wealth of knowledge that I really appreciate. I look forward to picking your brains when problems arise. Not to many selbowyers around my neck of the woods let alone Trad Archery in general. Thanks Bob W.

Yea a person can learn how to make bows and arrows flint knapp all kinds of stuff but learning how to make time takes awhile. I know people leave this earth every day you never know when it's gonna be you. Don't put things on bucket list off to long😊
