My name is Mark Thornton. I made the switch to trad archery almost 2 years ago after 17years of bowhunting with compounds. I have now gotten the bow building urge and have purchased a read oak board to make my first attempt at a bow after deer season is over. Hopefully I can make something shootable. I figured this was the place to go to learn the how to's of bow building. I am from Wetumpka, AL(just north of Montgomery). Some of you may have spoken to me on the LW(tdog) or Tradgang(pseman).

I hope to post some pics of my new bow in the next couple months.

Okilydokily here goes.

My name is Ragi, folks prolly remember me from long ago. I have been a long time member on most of the big archery sites. I somehow ended up walking away for a while. RL was sucking and the divorce lawyers were picking my pockets.

So I am now getting back to what I love though it is slow.

I will be around but since I now work for a living instead of being self unemployed, I wont be around as much. :(

I have been reading PA for about 6 years and just recently received my order for all the back issues. I can't wait to try out some of the projects from the old issues. My name is Aaron and I am from north west Arkansas.

Hi, my name is Niels and I am a photographer from Hamburg in Northern Germany - yes, it is the Hamburg with the legendary Reeperbahn  ;D
The nick "Cooper" is just the translation of my last name in German.
I am shooting with traditionell bows for about six years and building them for five and a half - you see this virus was to strong for me.

Till now I have only made laminate bows and board bows with textile backing.
No selfbows so far - but I will try sometime, I promise  ;)

Hm, I remember, there was a rule - something about "child friendly" and so on, … yes, here it is:

Quote from: SarahAnne on August 28, 2007, 05:24:24 pm
…
Rule #4: This is a family oriented site and we want it to be child friendly so the use of curse words or foul language is not tolerated. Keep your language clean and respectful.
…
I think this rule applies to photos too - so: No photos from the Reeperbahn possible  ;D

Heya

Yeah I am still making arrows and bows etc. sorta. I dont have the time and energy I did so everything happens much slower than it used to. My arrow company is kinda sorta in suspended animation for the moment.

It is good to be back, now I need to make it a habit again.
