I use a hungarian horsebow I bought at a viking market! I'm in a local archery club that focuses on historical bows, so we attend a lot of viking markets and similar arrangements, to have an archery stand where we instruct people! I have no clue about modern archery, though.

That sounds hardcore. History and archery? I want to join! And I've never even heard of a viking market, but that sounds awesome, too.

I use the plain jane modern compound bow. I actually don't have one at the moment (I just moved across the country and had to leave my old one, cue the weeping and gnashing of teeth) but I'm looking into getting a new one.

Haiz: I'm with Miss Honeyham, history and archery sounds amazing (as does that horsebow)! And a viking market? I would LOVE to have something like that where I live.

Miss Honeyham: NOOOO that must have been horrible leaving your bow behind! I hope you get a new one soon! I've never shot compound but it looked fun.

It was pretty awful! Especially since I was the only person in my friend group who used one, so I ended up just leaving it behind, unwanted and unloved. And I used to shoot recurve when I was very small, but I'm a total weakling so when I restarted I decided to use one designed for weaklings. I love it. Ha.

(PS, should we be moving this conversation somewhere else? Like, is it ok for us to talk about archery and vikings here?? IDK???)

As one of the content moderators, I can say that we prefer to keep this thread for introductions, but we aren't ruthless about it.  TBH, we don't have an archery thread... yet.  You could... start one!

Yep we're going to need a archery thread. If one of you create it, I'll definitely follow it, but for now I'm going to slip out of the introduction thread so the archery discussion won't take over. XD

Anyway, I wanted to say thanks again to you guys for the warm welcome. :)

(Miss Honeyham: I'm sure you'll get used to the recurve bow again quickly. :) Or maybe you'll find another compound.)

h1 all.
I'm from the central European part of Russia. Nizhny Novgorod (about 400 km from Moscow to the east, do not get lost).
Master of metallurgy, photographer and designer.
In my spare time I read comics and watch high-quality anime.
This is the first fan forum at which I registered.
good day =)

Hello to all the newcomers, whom I haven't greeted yet! (Who are, as I'm glad to see, numerous. Our world-conquering army is growing nicely and steadily. :3 )

Ahoy, Slider!

First Olga Veresk, and now, another Russian artist! :) Welcome to the forum! Have you seen the anime discussion, and the webcomic discussion threads? (We also have one for photos, if you're interested, not to speak about the many-many other art threads, from crafts to drawings.)

Feel yourself at home, all of you, have some drinks from the banquet table, until Piney prepares the next dosage of squirrel cookies; browse and communicate to your heart's content!

Metallurgy was directed training at the university. We have free higher education, and you can choose what you are interested. Work really go to where they pay more.

I would like to engage in metallurgy - it's very interesting, but the conditions are not quite allow it.


But recently he traveled to another country. The total journey took 5100 km.


And what did you do this summer?
