Yeah, we all prefer traditional, although there are differences even in our small group ... the lady in the orange shirt marshals archery for the local SCA chapter and uses an Osage Orange longbow and wooden arrows she makes herself. She sneers at my fiberglass recurve and carbon-fiber arrows. (She doesn't actually sneer; but she is more traditional than the rest of us.)
I'm also enjoying having another outlet for leatherwork, so I made a tab and am working on an arm guard.
