On another forum. I make mountain and native american stuff. I was, well I guess, too primitive for them.

Somehow I found it searching the web.  Glad I did to, because I really needed some help on my bowmaking skills.  What a relief to find such nice people wanting to help you anyway they can. Thanks Guys,

Years ago shortly after the "beginning" it was PMed to me from a couple on another board that is no more.
Lost my post count" because I have no idea who my provider (address) was or what the pass word was.
Was easier just to re-register.

Found out about community from a web video on making your own bow.  Found the video from a google search.

Not sure when PA magazine started but I remember first hearing about it from a guy at arrowhead archery in Green Bay WI. He sold me my first and only store bought longbow. A used timberline safari. He showed me how to shoot it and told me about instinctive shooting. After talking about doing stuff the old way for a while he mentioned that if I wanted to learn more there was a great new magazine called Primitive archer.  Im pretty sure that was a bit more than 11 years ago. I stumbled onto the website much later. I was building a BBI and saw that one had won bow of the month. I went online and found the message board through that. I sent in requests to become a member for over a month with no reply and then I was about to give up on it when I got in. Still not sure what that was all about ??? :)

Picked up the my first magazines from the newstand. Finally subscribed three or four years ago. Bow of the month piqued my interest so I started viewing this site daily last January. Great mag and great site. Trying to build bows a couple years and enjoy reading others experiences. If was more computer literate I would try to post with pictures as I could use some specific advise. I have all four volumes of Bowyers Bible, Hunting the Osage Bow, and Cherokee Bows but still struggle. Biggest problem is I have never had my hands on a self-bow nor do I personally know anyone who uses or builds. Started hunting in 1957 and bow hunting in 1965 but "primitive is all new" can you believe that. I was old enough to know better.

a year & a half ago, i decided that string guns were getting too complicated & i felt like doing things more primitive. i tried for a month or so to find an affordable longbow that felt good at my 30" draw. seemed like everything available locally stacked at 28". i've been an AT member since '05, so i started hanging around the traditional forum there & met Kegan, who got me started building my own & also suggested this site. that was 20+ bows ago! now i'm a subscriber to the mag & i spend way too much time here- according to my lovely wife, that is. you people have helped me convert a passing interest in longbows into a full blown obsession with shaping, shaving, and all around torturing wood.

thank you!

Most likely due to your close association with Yoopers :o ;D

When I first got into bow making, I naturally looked for books, magazines, and websites associated with primitive archery. I found Primitive Archer magazine at our local bookstore, then assumed (and assumed correctly) "there must be a website". And thus, here I am. At the same time, after spending some time as a member of the "Planet", I discovered some of the same friendly folks there are also here, so I joined.
