what does everyone think of setting up different files for different type of recurves?  This way we can post and add information for new people starting out or older ones with question's.  I know some of Bear but none of shakespeare, browning, wing, pearson.  

I would have to look it up but there is a great sight on the web for Ben pearsons.
