Good luck on your searches. I hope you consider a kilted skirt.

From the other side of the state,

Welcome from South Texas from a recurve and longbow shooter. We lived north of the river for 4 years and KC is one of the places we are looking return to after the Army.

YMOS,
Tony

I plan on the kilted skirt, just as soon as I have a job and some money (okay, after food for the kids...LOL), or husband pays up the Child Support he owes ($1100 as of today).

I also have a side business making custom wood arrows and Flemish twist dacron strings.

Welcome to X-marks!

I usually only shoot recurves. I do teach my older Girl Scout Students to use the compounds (only 12 pounders with no break point). I just think they need to know that there is a difference. Teaching the girls is a lot of fun, espically because I shoot left-handed and so I teach left-handed, most of the girls are right-handed. It makes it interesting....LOL.

I would love to get a long bow, but alas, with no money, it just isn't going to happen for awhile. I would also like a crossbow, just for the fun of it....LOL.

Jenni,

I am recently separated from my wife of 7 years, no kids. I too am exploring my Scottish roots, fascinating stuff, and I must admit that I am getting addicted to the kilted culture, perhaps this is my 40s mid life crises, muss say that it is cheaper than a sports car.

Oh, I live in Saint George, KS, just outside Manhattan, KS.
