I have no one in my family that is interested in traditional archery. I have a book collection, hard copy of great authors and trad topics, dating back 50 years.

Do you think anyone is interested in these books anymore? I was thinking of selling them at a Trad shoot, but interest in books, seems to have died.

I go to alot of gun and sporting sales, and books don't move.....

Hey Groundhunter - Yep, I am interested. Can you list the titles & authors, esp. the archery or bowhunting related publications. In advance, thanks.

I was surprised, at the end of the day, at the Beaver Dam show, a young guy, bought 10 books. Also the amount of quality recurves and trad arrows, with great condition heads, at real world prices, was surprising. I love farm country shows. Next week going to a sale in Iowa.

I've got a ton of books from yesteryear, both hunting and fishing. All of them are irrelevant as the world is a completely changed place from when they were written. There nothing more than keepsakes from a time long gone...

Retro, so true. If I saw 5 guys under 50, it would be alot.... I saw over 5 boxes of various arrows, in pristine condition, most had razorheads never used, go for 20.00 a box. I saw a 45 lb Bear take down, with case and extras , right handed, 90 percent go for 40.00

Ground, It makes you wonder how much equipment like that just ends up in some landfill? I bet it would be mind boggling...
