Title: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Charlie Lamb on June 15, 2003, 11:01:00 PM
Guys!! Met Terry Green this weekend and all I can say is our Tradgang leader is hot with the stick and string. The guy borrowed a bow from Bob Morrison and about shot the pants off everyone in the group.
Silly boy didn't bring his own bow cause he wasn't planning on getting to shoot. All that Lance has told me about T's shooting is true with extra's. A smart man would let him shoot first then use his arrow in the kill ring for an aiming point. My hat's off to a fine archer.
On top of that I found him to be a warm, and engaging guy who's as modest and generous as they come.
If you all get a chance, hunt him down and shake his hand. He's tops.   :thumbsup:

Charlie, you bet, Terry is  tougher than a nickle steak!!, but your a great shot too!!, I knew you was gonna hit that turkey head!!, and did you drill it!!!, after Dean and I had close encounters, you showed us how to do it!!, Dean is also a great shot ( he learned from Mussatto!),when a bow looks that good, it has to shoot good!!!, then there is me and my buddy Lenny, well, we shot too!!!!  Hope we can do it again!!!!!

Yeah, he tore it up! And he was dressed way nicer than anybody else there. But that long sleeve shirt he had on made me sweat just looking at it and I don't think he shed a drop. I was sweatin like a pig.....no wait, I was "glistening". Yeah, that's it! Glistening like a pig!!

Good Lord Charlie....  I thought this was a political thread you started, and I didn't want to be the one to pull it.    :D  

Now let me tell ya, Charlie is a clutch shooter for sure.....he sucked up and drilled every Dean T. (T standing for Tom Foolery on this post   :D   ) could dream up on the 2nd half of the course.  I mean drilled em perfect.  Cept for that Fred Bear shot and that was pure luck on my part.....or was it pure instinctive?  I'll let you guys figure it out.   :D  

Anyhow, that was one fine crowd to shoot with on my very 1st 3-D shoot.  I almost declined, but I'm glad I re-considered.  Those events only come around once in a lifetime.

Thanks for inviting me along.  Ya'll have no idea what it meant to have walked the course with ya.

BTW, after reading my last post, I need to clarify that Fred Bear shot comment.  It was LUCK!

You had to be there to get the "instinctive" comment.

And, I truely believe Spudly is a certified nut, and he's got  :bigsmyl:   papers to prove it.

Thanks Spudly for letting me bunk with ya, I really enjoyed the stories.

Can't seem to get Cloverdale out of my mind.  Too much fun crammed into 2 days....I got sensory overload.

Still thinkin about the great time in Indiana myself T! Kinda like stepping into the grand archery tourament scene in Errol Flynn's "Robin Hood".
To paraphrase a quote used by Dean Torges, "shoot a few arrows and majic happens"!
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Spudley on June 18, 2003, 12:53:00 AM
Charlie, if I could shoot like you guys, I'd have some of those rabbit fur tracers too, so everyone could see where the arrow went.  They sure are purdy!!  If it wasn't so dog-gone muddy, we would have had a laying down shot!!
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Charlie Lamb on June 18, 2003, 09:51:00 AM
Spuds... the laying down shot would have been fun for sure. On a few of the hills I thought I was gonna end up that way whether I wanted to or not. After fracturing my spine this past winter in a nasty fall, I was thinking about it.... a lot!!

Hey! Those aren't fur tracers...  they're
"parachutes" ala Dean!   :saywhat:

Anyone know if Dean made it home?  Or did he venture off in another direction?

I emailed him his pics of the ATHA tent kids bowmaking session, and I haven't heard back from him.

How about it Spudley, you know if'n he's alright?
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Charlie Lamb on June 18, 2003, 05:57:00 PM
T... I heard from him yesterday. Looks like he made it home ok.
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Spudley on June 18, 2003, 11:38:00 PM
Terry, he is fine!  He has already sent a pic of a great looking ham he has cooked.  Dean's intelec and cunning ability with stick and string is only surpassed by his culinary skills!  He sent me a pic of his smoker full off Kebasa sausages, emailed him back and told him, it looked like the shower room of the LA Lakers!! (he didn't respond??) LOL

"...it looked like the shower room of the LA Lakers!! (he didn't respond??)"

What could he say? Bud, you the only person I know that can leave Dean speechless.

Gives me an idea what we can do with "our" picture.
  :D

Tom, not to brag, but I recently succeeded in leaving Dean speechless.  It's one of the high points of my dull life.

  He e-mailed me a mouth-watering description of how well his garden is doing this year, all the vegetables he's harvesting, mentioned his 100 cornish hens, etc.  I e-mailed him back and said, "Heck, I'll just move in with you."  Haven't heard another word from him.  Kinda strange.     :rolleyes:

Probably has something to do with me saying he was kinda sexy in that squirrel video, Cuz.

I think he thinks we're strange.  :saywhat:

Speaking of that, did you get a look at Tom in the frog video? Man, can he make a pair of rubber boots look good, or what?

  :thumbsup:

Hee-hee!  Hey, Cuz.     :bigsmyl:
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Tom Mussatto on June 19, 2003, 11:01:00 AM
Way to go Al. Although we need to be careful here. If enough folks leave Dean speechless we might never hear from him again. I for one would miss him.

No rubbery boots for me. Those are all leather Buster Browns. Normally don't wear no shoes atall but Spudley is trying to civilize me. Says I embarrass him in public.
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Al Snow on June 19, 2003, 11:14:00 AM
Yep, I'd miss him, too.  Always look forward to the food photos and recipes he sends, not to mention the way he uses words purty.  You fellas eat good up there.

Enjoyed the frog video very much.  Have to admit I winced, though, when you whupped that one in the water with your bow.  (Winced for the bow, not the frog.)     "[dead]"

Post by: Joey Ward on June 19, 2003, 11:22:00 AM
Yep, seems those storms are doing lots of remodeling down there. Gotta wait for the captain to re-find the reefs.

Shoulda known they be leather boots, Tom. Frogs cain't smell.   :)  

What became of the frogs? I could tell your camerawoman didn't want anything to do with them.
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Tom Mussatto on June 19, 2003, 12:09:00 PM
"You fellas eat good up there."

Not all of us.   :saywhat:  

Good shots don't have to whomp their frogs after the shot. Not to worry about the bow. It's a Big 5. Multiple duty piece of equipment. Shoot arrows, walking stick, frog whomper.......

"What became of the frogs? I could tell your camerawoman didn't want anything to do with them."

Had to clean'em myself. Had to cook'em myself. Had to eat'em myself. So much for the "me hunter, you squaw". What's this world coming to?

You guys need to come to ATHA hunt in October. Leave your pride and self-respect at home and bring lots of arrows and a big appetite. Rubber boots (hip waders) are optional.

I blame my mother-in-law.   :saywhat:  

Lost pride years ago. Never had much self-respect. Thanks to Al, I got plenty of arrows. Always have a big appetite.

Waders would make it boring.

Tom,

So you got to eat all those frog legs by yourself? I feel sorry for you.   :help:

Post by: Terry Green on July 01, 2003, 03:49:00 PM
Guys,  looks like Cloverdale is gonna cost me more than I thought.  That bow of Bob's sure did treat me nice....and its been workin on my brain ever since.  Can't stand the thought of not owning a bow that danced with me during my 1st 3-D shoot.  And it will always remind me of the great time I had, and the time I spent with you guys.

That Cougar is growling at me, .......and I'm gonna have to make her purrrrrrrr.
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: OH at work on July 01, 2003, 03:58:00 PM
So Terry, did you talk Bob into selling you his bow or is he making one like it???  There are a lot of great bows out there but his are surely one of the best  :thumbsup:  

Joe
Title: Re: Our fearless leader!
Post by: Terry Green on July 01, 2003, 07:17:00 PM
Joseph,

Nah...Wouldn't want to even try and talk Bob out of one of his own bows.  I'm gonna have him make me one.

That was a good time, fellas. Of course, any time you got Phdley in tow, you cannot avoid a good time.

Charlie, am pleased to have finally made your acquaintance. Have been curious about you since I first saw that fine photo of you under a bare tree with a squirrel coming to earth. Figured it must have been trick photography, until I shot the course with you.  :)  That daggone Terry's a shooter, too, ain't he? Makes it look so effortless and relaxed.

Looking forward to next time.

Dang Dean, been wonderin where you were. That Terry guy is a super shot as far as I'm concerned and I was impressed with the shootin you were doin with that little stick you were bending... was that osage?    :D  

I've taken a lot of photos trying to capture "the moment" and that squirrel photo is one of only a few that worked. My buddy the cameraman was on his toes that day!

We'll have to assemble that group again one day! The most fun I've had in a while. Good shootin with ya.

  :thumbsup:
