Title: Tradgangers Anonymous
Post by: jmar595 on December 26, 2006, 04:25:00 PM
My fiance is getting amused that I have an addiction, if u will, to tradgang. I am new to bows and fairly new to Tradgang, about 3 weeks for both. It is just funny about the comment she made: is there some sort of support group for the problem we all have in common? LOL

First welcome. Second it is addicting and I believe for these reasons. Everyone here has a common interest,Traditional Archery. And on this site you will not hear any bickering,slamming,crude and ill natured responses to a dum question or a dumb answer. Everyone on here is at a point of their life where when you keep something simple you are at your best. And that is whats appealing to this place.

Great people, great conversation and great subject matter.

I'm addict too,  There is too many great PPL on here to give it Up so I would say You're stuck with Us Tadgangers. The only problem with tradgang is I can't get online from work....Other then that this is the greatest website around.. OK next to the sites where I order my hunting stuff from.... I don't think you'll find a better place to find info on anything that deals with Hunting/shooting/building trad-bows...Since you have been on have you found what you needed to make up you'r mind about about a BOW/Arrows/leather work/hunting/shooting/etc: etc:

My hat goes off to the Founding members of Tradgang.

Hi, I'm thp and I'm tradgangaholic.

I encourage you to work the 11 steps of recovery:

1.  Admitted to self that one is powerless over using traditional archery as a completely healthy and desirable means of dealing with the stress of daily living.

Problem?  What problem?  I don't have a problem? You got a problem?  I don't have a problem?

I only check in on days that end in "Y", and once a day, all day long.

No problem here.

My only problem right now is I go to work when it is dark, get home when it is dark, and have no lights set up for my backyard range so I can't shoot, and no indoor range within 30 miles of my house! Other than that, no problem!!    :banghead:    :banghead:    :banghead:

It's good to know I'm not alone. Noone else understands this plight. I'm not sure any of us do either, but hey, we have at least one thing in common. LOL I'm down to one arrow now. Had 3 but the fletching is destroyed on one, shot the nock and split the other tonight, and now there is one, with ragged fletching. It still flies and I can shoot with it. A lot of people would look at the arrow and say, "You're glad to have THAT" Those people will never understand. Ya, I'm glad to have it, I can still shoot my bow, as long as I can do that I will be glad.
