Got him hooked into traditional longbows
« on: June 08, 2010, 08:28:43 AM »
Well my supervisor and friend at my morning job, asked if he could come over and give the traditional thing a try  :roll:

I said, Dan I am more than willing to have you come over after you get off work this morning, and so he showed up.  I showed him the proper way to string a longbow, not using the step thru method but with a stringer.  I put Dan at 5 yards, and showed him how to hold my BamaBow Hunter, and then put my arm guard on him, put the finger tab on him, and showed him the proper way to nock the arrow with the index feather out.  Dan was a bit nervis, but caught on and pictured below is from his first group.  With a few other groups blew one of my feathers off of the Easton 2018's which I gave him as a reminder of just how much fun he was having.





Dan then asked me if there was a catalog that he could get, so I had him call the number for 3Rivers right there on the spot for a catalog to be sent to his house.  Heck, they even asked him who refered him to them  :dance:

Now, he is going to get his money together and call Nate with BamaBows, and order a new longbow for himself.  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

I just went by a pawn shop that had 2 pair of 3 fingered shooters gloves, and traded a couple of old powder measures that I won't use any more.  The owner said, hey I can use those, and I said, "Hey I can use THOSE" and I walked away very happy.  I will probably give Dan his first coaxing gift  ;D

Oh man you are pouring it on strong.......don't let up!

BTW you might want to point him to that Samick Sage recurve if he doesn't want to get in too deep to start with.....;)
