[Ansteorra-archery] (somewhat) Any bowmakers out there?

[Robin Allen]

  I can't imagine a bowmakers forum. Bowyery is about a week's worth of knowledge and the rest is all finese and technique which really can't be transmitted well in a written format.  For info and advice I'd recommend The Traditional Bowyers' Bible series or a subscription to Primitive archer magazine. Also 3 Rivers Archery sells some very useful how to DVDs. Of course they also sell some aweful ones as well.

  Kind of on this subject: Would anyone be interested in an Ansteorran 
bowmakers yahoo group? I am a novice at it, and would like the 
opportunity to trade information/advice. I have built one longbow that 
fired successfully once and exploded on the second shot. Am just 
starting on my second one.
