Yup, Shot a lot of Bow for a lot of years. Long before it became "trendy" in these parts.
IBO, Field, National, etc. Hunted deer, bird, squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, goose, duck, etc.
Mostly with Traditional equipment. Made some bows, all my leather goods, arrows for myself and others, Flemish strings, etc. did instructional, the whole bit.
One of my favorites for several years was a Dan Quinlan Bamboo Longhunter. 72# longbow. It was a brute! LOL Definately not good for an all day shoot. Excellent 3-D and hunting though. Most always shot Cedar, Maple, Northern Pine shafts. Many I would "foot" and Barrel taper for added speed.
Also played a lot with "Bare Bow" (compound with trad type rest, instinctive, no sights, etc.
Shoulders (like you) are not what they used to be. Now days pretty much stick with Bare Bow, It's an old Martin Cougar (before they became rediculously short W-W.
Thus; riarcher = R.I. Archer
