:help: I am not sure if this is the best place to post this but I need help. Hello, I am new to the site but have been bow hunting for over 40 years now. I am wanting to get back into traditional archery again. One question I have is I am wanting to build a bow and hunt next season with it. Can anyone out there help me find someone in the Hot Springs, Arkansas area or in Arkansas, who can help me out? I am willing to drive to meet up with anyone who may be able to help me out. Thanks in advance for any help. ;)

1oldbowguy, I dont know how far you want to drive but I live just about ten minutes west of Fort Smith. Id be willin to help you out any way I can.
:wavey: okie64, I know where Muldrow is and it is about 2 hours or so, not real bad. I would like set a meeting some time soon and talk. I am thinkin about starting a pyramid bow maybe this weekend. I am thinking about white oak over red oak, what do you think? Maybe walnut for the tips and handle? :dunno:
Everything I've heard says that white oak works very well and won't take much set at all, while you can expect red to take as much as 2" even with a perfect tiller. So...white would be a great choice, and I think walnut always looks good. Just make sure you post lots of pictures! :thumbsup:
