Hello! Calling out the youth hunters here! Leave a comment below on what your favorite game animal/species to hunt is- or what you’d like to hunt. Let me know what your favorite bow is as well and what kind of bow setup your using! - Indie

Our daughter spent a day building Flemish strings with her grampa. One of the great parts of the immersive process of traditional archery and Bowhunting is the DIY component. The string jig in this post was built by my dad almost 31 years ago. All my strings since then were made on it - this is history… heritage. Do you build your own strings?

Hello all! We are launching a Youth section today brought to you by our daughter Indie! Indie has been shooting a recurve since she was around 2 1/2 years old. She has been following me around since that age in the woods and began to hunt 3 years ago here in Ontario Canada. Some of our hunts are in my books and she is a dedicated tradbow shooter. Her fav species to chase are wild turkeys, grouse, pheasant and whitetails. She shoots a 44# (at her draw length) semi custom Bodnik Kiowa recurve with 1916 alum arrows tipped with 150 grain Magnus stingers. She is great at processing and skinning out deer for me when we butcher our game and likes to “rove” and stump shoot at her grandparents farm to stay sharp for hunting season. She will be posting shot challenges as well as Trad tips for youth up to 18 years. Let’s go! Cheers! -Grant
