Hello all,
My name is Rick and I've been fortunate to call E. Tn home for most of my life. My wife, the dog, and I are moving into our first house soon and I'm excited to have somewhere to practice more skills at home. I've been pretty active in bushcraft, primitive skills, and a lot more outdoor activities for about 10 years. I really got into it towards the end of my undergrad career. Anyways, I enjoy fishing and started looking into bowfishing, but the idea of a primitive bow for fishing and otherwise  intrigued me and meshed with my other interest. So long story short I ended up here. When we get into the house a target is going in the back yard ASAP. I made one attempt at a bow so far, but it was just a practice run and didn't work out. I look forward to learning and sharing with this community.

Cheers,
Rick

Welcome Rick! You stick around and you'll soon come to realize you just got the "Come and see" from one of the nicest guys in your state. Do yourself a favor and plan a trip over to Pappy's place. You won't regret it.

Congrats on the first home and looking forward to seeing your future projects. Better get a stick busted out soon cause deer season is right around the corner.

Thank you and I'm sure I will. I've poked around and this seems like the place to learn all I can.

Thank you very much, and I just might take you up on that. There's some good fishing in your area as well and I could make that a combo trip. I really appreciate the invite.

Thanks and I agree. I love these mountains and valleys. That's what I hear.

Haha, thanks and I'm picking up on that. I'll see what I can.

I don't know if I'll be ready to roll by this season, but I'm looking at some bows now. I might buy the first and then make one once we're settled in at the new place.
