Since it seems we aren't going to get an archery or ranged weapon sub forum here, I thought I would make an index of Archery topics for folks to be able to find stuff on the topic of Archery easier. If I missed any please post up a link to the missed thread. And if you create a new archery thread please add your new thread link here.

* last updated 6/29/14
(I think I got all the links updated to the new forum but if I missed one let me know or if there is an archery thread that needs adding to the list)

** Now that archery has it's own sub forum I will likely be giving this thread a bit of a makeover, making a few more categories and making this thread an index for easy use to find archery threads in this subforum.

Richard head Longbows based in England are excellent bow makers and fletchers. They also sell excellent machined and hand made arrow heads for traditional archers. I've bought most of my arrow heads from here.

Thanks Taran and Ceebs for the links, but that is not really what this thread is about, it is for links to archery threads here on SBG.

Maybe someone might want to make a thread about archery vendors, which I would then link that thread here. But this thread is for SBG forum threads. A way to find and locate the archery topics that have been discussed here on SBG.

It is nice seeing so many folks interested in Archery and getting started in it.

Well considering how when I did a google search it only shows 1 example of one, and a google search of just "ainu bow" has only a few examples of archeological examples, my guess is there just isn't much known about them in traditional scenes.

Same could be asked about why there are so few Pennobscot bows, they are amazing bows but few places to actually get one. Pretty much the ancient version of a compound bow with amazing added poundage on a smaller limbed bow by having a second set of limbs.

But also something to mention, is this thread is to reference existing threads about archery. Not really to discuss archery. I started this as an index of all the archery related threads, so those of us interested could find them easier.

Actually, I think those are experiencing a boom in popularity at the moment. I wondered why it sounded familiar, so I did a quick Google search and, aside from coming up with a plethora of examples, it reminded me of where I'd seen it before: there's a few videos on Youtube of people who've made Penobscot bows out of PVC. They're pretty hard to forget, after all, what with that distinctive shape.

Anyways, I'll stop derailing this thread now.
