[QUOTE="flanders, post: 1120625, member: 13547"] "Seminars" were a huge deal a while back, nowadays they're called "meetups" or even "trade meetups". Some of the big players still show up. Weirdly the primitive archery sphere and the pickup artist sphere evolved in about the same time frame in similar ways. I could never make it to any of the meetups (these guys all live in Portland or California, it seems). Could monetize primitive archery by posting leaflets or news articles saying that a local bowyer is hosting a bow-building seminar and you only have to pay ~100$ for materials and instruction. After startup costs and marketing you still probably pocket at least a third of the proceeds. If it's spun towards 'father-son day' or children it could potentially be really lucrative, since white collar parents will spend any amount of money on their kids to get them away from the xbox for a day. I never had the initiative to do that but it is something to think about if you're trying to grow a community from scratch, essentially. I thought the engineering/math applications towards primitive archery was a strong plus since it laid waste a lot of bad ideas about the sport, like recurves being naturally superior. It also set up some new and exciting heuristics like poundage/fps rule, basically if your 50# bow can throw a 500 grain hunting arrow at 150 fps it's at a good level of efficiency, with great being 170+ fps and legendary/mythical being 200+ fps. The chronograph is the true test of archery in many respects and it's done a lot of good things. I'm having issues figuring out the maze of quotes so I'll just reply in blue or something. I never much cared for pyramid bows, that much physical mass right in the sight plane made shooting them kind of gay, but a lot of people seem to like them. Heat treat and blast the shit out of the belly and you can get away with murder. :banana: That's interesting though that black locust grows in Croatia since I thought BL was a Missouri kind of thing. I imagine you guys have .. ash and beech forests probably? Our type of black walnut is also much different, since European black walnut needs to age for a very long time to have a vintage look while American black walnut has the aged look the day after sawing it.
