Traditional Archery

Traditional Archery is making a reinsurgance as some archers tire of the gizmos and gadgets most compound shooters use. Getting back to stick and string or bow and arrow brings archers back to the beginnings of archery. For millenium, archers used nothing more than a longbow, arrows, and a quiver to defend and feed themselves. Ancient Asians developed the recurve, but it was still just stick and string. The modern traditional archer has better string materials to use, with more consistent shafts and heads but the basics are still the same. Most are shot without the aid of a release, instead opting for a finger tab or shooting glove. Arrow rests are sometimes merely a flipper shelf that the arrow sits on, and many times not used at all with the top of the hand or the riser shelf providing the arrow rest. Sights are typically not used, so instinctive shooting skills are learned and used. Carbon shafts now come in a wood-grained look, so archers can use the new carbon shafts with traditional gear. It is amazing how accurate practiced tradtional archers can be while instinctively shooting. Ye Olde Archery Shoppe carries everything you need to get started in traditional archery, from traditional quivers to cedar shafts. Traditional bow cases to longbows and recurve bows.
