[Artemisia] Archery question....

[morgan wolf]

A bow, some arrows, and a target.  :-D
 
Seriously, I recommend getting together with a local archer or two (Gefjon, for example), and seeing what size bow you need, whether or not you enjoy it, whether you shoot left or right handed, etc., before investing any money in equipment.
 
Of course, once you decide you do love it (who wouldn't, really), www.3riversarchery.com is where I get my stuff.

Subject: [Artemisia] Archery question....


Hi, everyone! I've decided that I want to learn to do something completely
and utterly different this year, and for some reason, I've fixed on the idea
of learning to do archery.  Not the combat variety (I'll leave that to my
baroness, Judith!), but the target version.
Now, the last time I picked up a bow and shot an arrow (in P.E. class), I
think that Richard Nixon was still president.  (I know, some of you don't
remember that far back, but that's okay.  I won't hold it against you!)
What do I need to know and acquire to start this? I'd love to hear the
recommendations from those of you who practice this sport!
Thanks,
Maire
