Title: Newbie from the show me state
Post by: Slowpoke on September 28, 2014, 11:04:32 am: Thought I'd introduce myself. Ive been shooting archery for about 12 years now (compounds) and decided to try my hand at traditional archery and bow building. Google searching different aspects of the process has led me here. So be prepared for a ton of questions throughout my first few attempts to make a bow:) Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond to my questions.

Post by: Slowpoke on September 29, 2014, 11:10:17 am: Nope. I was curious so I checked his profile it says he's in Hannibal. I'm hoping there are a few K.C. area folks around that might have a couple hickory staves they'd be willing to trade for. I've got some fishing gear I'd be willing to part with.

Post by: lebhuntfish on September 29, 2014, 01:06:52 pm: There is a fella named Wayne that's in KC. I can't think of his last name right now. He has a Bowyers meeting every Wednesday night that's open to anybody. Super guy and a very knowledgeable Bowyer. There was a post on here a while back about it. Ill see if I can find it for ya.

Post by: Aaron H on January 08, 2015, 02:02:36 pm: Wayne certainly is a great guy, very welcoming to anyone interested in building bows. He is very knowledgeable, and very willing to help newbies, especially kids. Sadie is wonderful too, and occasionally gun doc stops by whenever he is in the area. I love going to build our just talk bows in Wednesday nights, but having a newborn makes it kinda tough to get out anymore. Welcome aboard slowpoke.
