Posted: 11/22/2011 1:21:00 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Just wanted to say welcome to the new archery/bowhunting board. Over time here we will be updating it with new functionality in order to have it exist as a mini-site within the AR15.com umbrella. We will also be expanding the forums, adding industry reps, and otherwise growing it to meet the needs of our users. Our goal is to leverage the software and community we have established, as well as bring new users into the family from the outdoors/shooting industry. All of your input/comments/ideas are welcome, so feel free to post, email, or IM.

A BFL with crossed arrows is simple, but perhaps someone else can come up with a more creative idea.

Posted: 11/22/2011 11:15:36 PM Excellent idea! I can see myself spending time here. And perfect timing also- I used to spend quite a bit of time shooting my bow; target, deer hunting and bowfishing. But, for many reasons, I just kind of lost interest about 6 years ago. For the past few years I have considered dusitng it off and getting a deer tag. I got home this evening to find an 8-point buck standing in my back yard. Pretty sure I will be practicing tomorrow. Then I opened my emails to find the newsletter with the info for this new forum. FATE! I also like the logo, but maybe something along the lines of the PSE TAC-15 crossbow would befit our views....

ETA: Can also go right to http://archery.ar15.com
