<div> 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.</div> <div>Robin <BR><BR><B><I>Elton Prater <elton2995@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Kind of on this subject: Would anyone be interested in an Ansteorran <BR>bowmakers yahoo group?
