Does anyone here do archery? - Page 2

Aurican · 11-19-2001, 11:28 PM

I've been doing archery off and on for a few years. I can't afford a decent bow yet but have gotten pretty good at making my own arrows. They are oak shafts with steel arrowheads and green and white feather fletchings. Currently I'm using a #25-30 recurve beginner bow, no bracer or tabs. I've been looking into making my own bow but haven't really had time to start.

On a more serious note, I would love to do archery - it is on my list of things to do before I am too old to stand up any more (hopefully a good long time!)
