Re: bit of a change.
Darryl, I know you didnt mention them but you did suggest a laminate back to prevent splintering, that's what I was agreeing with. Sorry Bob wasn't aware that Bamboo flooring wasn't suitable (getting older not necessarily wiser) I have seen some nice wattle selfbows but always include a heartwood be...

Re: use of aluminium and carbon arrows at trad shoots
Perry, time poor archers wasn't the motivation for the rule changes, making trad more beginner friendly was. Nothing puts a beginning trad shooter off more than heading out with a dozen shiny new woods and coming back with matchwood (and before you say move em closer we did and they got worse) alloy...

Re: use of aluminium and carbon arrows at trad shoots
how novel, a woods vs alloy debate, takes me back a few years when 3DAAA saw the sense to allow alloys and carbons in the longbow division, which was consequently followed by howls of protest by wood supporters claiming it would destroy the game (and didn't I cop it with some rather personal inflect...

It wont take long to get used to those weights, you could always order lighter limbs for the predator (which may make a nice upgrade for the wife) your wife could get used to the draw weight with a cheap target recurve (<$200) Therabands make good muscle development tools and are easily carried.

Re: Transitioning from target to hunting bow.
Byron Ferguson's 'split vision' method is practical and quick to apply, here you focus on where you want to hit and become aware peripherally of the gap of the arrow tip to the target.
