Re: Hi All
Welcome to Ozbow Dean. Things are pretty quiet here these days as a lot of people use Facebook etc. There is a lot of information on here and if you have specific questions just ask as I'm sure one of us will be able to help.

Re: Hi All
gday Dean,
Welcome to Ozbow. It is quiet nowadays but still full of info.
What's got you interested in traditional archery (if there is on thing) ? I remember my foray into buying a recurve after shooting compounds for a while was reading Saxton Pope's book on archery.

Re: Hi All
Thanks all for offering help/advice if i need it.Would be good to go to one of the trad shoots at the hunter one day.
I shot compounds for years on and off.
But what interests me the most is traditional is kept simple eg no sights,d loops, release aids etc.
What i like is the fact that so many bows can be made to a persons own customization eg wood type, draw weights and so many bows are unique.
I enjoy a challenge and the sooner i get myself a trad bow the better.
I have a hoyt crx 35 for sale that i bought recently but regret buying a compound as i dont enjoy compounds anymore was more of an impulse buy from ebay.
The hoyt is fully set up in great condition it's in the trade/sale section i was hoping someone would want to do a swap for a traditional recurve so i can get into shooting asap.

Re: Hi All
Hi Dean,
Yes welcome to the forum.
It is much quieter than it has historically been and I am guilty of not visiting as much as I used to.
This is still the best trad archery forum in Australia though as far as I can find and it is still frequented by some very knowledgeable archers from the trad/barebow fraternity.
Regards
Troy
