That's great! What kind of bow are you getting? If it's for SCA I'm guessing a long bow or recurve?
Shooting takes some skill but isn't hard to learn. I can't dance, have no real coordination but can still shoot. :) I'm lucky because the range I shoot at has a lot of people into traditional archery. There are a lot of SCA-types who shoot wood arrows/bows and there are people like me who use recurves made from modern materials and there are a lot of people who go full-technology with the compound (pulleys/metal alloys) bows. I think it's great to have such diversity at our club because it means I can feel comfortable with my skill level as well as my equipment.
Good luck with it and please do post pictures or an update when you get your bow! I'd love to learn more about how you do with it.
