Just putting this out there. i notice a lot of new members & some older members that have not even got up a post at all. So i extend an invitation to come out of the shell & most people here do not bite & remember
"The queastion you do not ask is the silly one."
I can not say you will get the correct answer straight up but i assure you you will be answered, thats for sure. Also remember we all started out before aswell, so do not in anyway think you are less of an archer than someone who has done it for 20 odd years. So i urge you Guys & Girls to get out & join in with the rest of us. You will for sure enjoy as well.

i third...

it dissapoints me to see all of these newbies on the forum obviously observing the convos, but not getting involved... have a go... like hood said... it wasnt that long ago that i was in the exact same boat as you guys/girls... the only way to learn properly is to get involved...

have fun with it

I'm glad you have brought this up Grunter as I have been thinking of addressing this subject myself.

I also think that just because someone is a newbie, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are inexperienced. In fact I think that some of these guys have plenty of value to add.

I have personally heard comments from experienced guys saying "I don't look at it much as it is all the same people posting and some of it is crap". Well what I say to those guys is, make a post yourself of what you think is the true answer or help righting a wrong if that is how they see it. The higher the quality of content, the more enjoyable and popular the site will become.

The content on this site is only the opinion of its members. There is no hidden agenda or rule on what can and can't be said within reasonable grounds of offence and illegalities. Some people are more experienced than others and their opinions are held in higher regard. That's the nature of it.

Still if you have something to offer, then I say offer it. You can only add value, learn something or be guided in the right direction. No one is here to bite your hand off.

I also see a lot of guests' viewing the site at various times. I wish these people too would join. The more people that are on here the more widely spread the offerings of insight would be. Remember that the bigger we are the better we become. And with numbers comes strength.

And with numbers comes strength.

And knowledge.
I would also like to see more members contribute...

Well I am a newbie so I shall say hi. My name is Dingo, some of you already know me from another site but for those that don't, hi. I live on the mid-north coast of NSW and I have been hunting with a bow for a couple of years now with not a lot of success, but I am hoping things will improve over time. At the moment I am quite busy with work and study so hunting has been put on hold....OUCH. Once I have some spare time and get out there I hope I can contribute some exciting stories.

Welcome Dingo. Good luck with your studies and hunting once you get out again.
The wait between hunts is an absolute nightmare at times.

Tell me about it Hood, I'm used to going out every weekend and now it has been over a month. Should I say it...I am antsy in my pantsy. The wait is excruciating.
