The Trailhead - Beginning Your Traditional Journey
The beginning of a path in the woods is called the trailhead. It is where the journey begins. Sometimes you don't know where the path will take you, but others have blazed the trail before you and have left their mark for others to follow. Occasionally you meet them on the trail and exchange greetings, tips and hints or simply the enjoyment of company heading the same direction. In this department you will find articles and how-tos that will help you on your journey into traditional archery. It will also give some ideas for how to share this journey with others that show an interest, whether they are kids, a church, school or 4-H group or the guys you used to shoot compounds with. Many articles will cover general hunting, archery and woodsmanship topics. Members are also encouraged to ask questions or help others in The Trailhead forum.

Wish You Were There
By Jarrod Feiner
Sean's knee sounded like peanut brittle. A few yards in front of him, I heard a sick 'pop.' In mid-stride, my face winced vicariously for him; I froze. "Sean, really, you want me to get the truck and drive you back to camp?" . . .

Subtle Reminders of Autumn
By Jarrod Feiner
In coastal California, the change of the seasons is a somewhat subtle affair. The grass, on the rolling hills, simply pales from green to brown . . .
