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. If you need a membership to Tradbow.com click here.

The Ring of Fire
By Jarrod Feiner
They looked like seconds from a KINGSFORD charcoal plant. John, Nico's tracker, began constructing a ring of zebra dung just outside the entrance of the blind. The droppings were organized with great care into an oblong circle. I looked on with amused interest as John lit one of the droppings, and, cupping it in his hands, gently exhaled onto it. . . . keep reading
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?" . . . keep reading

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 . . . keep reading
