Since my Osage self bow blew up, I dusted off grandpa's old Herter's 1964 international match hunter. Still slings arrows pretty darn good.

Nice looking bow Wytex, care to share any details?

I am starting to look into trad longbows, and have no real idea where to start.

Good looking bow wytex.

When did your archery season start for it to be over already?

Ours goes until the end of January for Delaware. And a little into February for Maryland if using longbow or recurve.


Who is John Galt?

You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your training.

Our archery season is mostly the month of Sept in Wyoming, we do have pronghorn areas that open in Aug.
Thankfully we get an entire month for the most part of bows only then in most areas can also pick up a rifle on the same tag later in season.

Both my self and the spouse shoot Predator Longbows out of Muenster, TX.
Mine has 3 carbon lams in the limbs and pulls nice and easy for 50#.
Spouse shoots a basic model, no carbon lams.
Bois d'arc footed doug fir arrows with 4 fletch.
