Wow, 20 years ... that's impressive.

I'm late to the party, but completely, hopelessly hooked at this point. Here's to another 20 years of the best forum out there.  :campfire:

I remember when you first talked about it at one of The Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia meetings many, many moons ago.  And look at how far you have come! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Awesome accomplishment!

I learn something new each time I'm on this site, this site is the Major Leagues in comparison to other sites I visit. Where else do they support the kids as we do with the St Judes auctions, it says a lot for the Mods and Sponsors who keep this site going.

Signed on here on March 29th of 2003. The only time I haven't check in at least once a day is when I've been hunting somewhere that there was no service. I start my day with coffee and Trad Gang and will continue to as long as I am able to use my computer. There are quite a few Trad Gang members, that even though we have not met in person, I consider to be my friends. Thanks to all that make this site possible.

I've been on board since 2008 and am still enjoying the ride. Trad Gang has been a place of refuge at times as well as a source of technical information. Most importantly, it has been a place to share the love of bow hunting with likeminded people. You guys have done a great job running this site, and I hope it lasts for many years to come. Thanks!

The wealth of information along with all the hunting story’s and friendships made is amazing , I visit here daily and has become a part of my life. It is such a relief to come here and have all the hassles iin todays world put on hold. Sure wish us older fellas had this site when we were young. A tip of the Fedora to the admin.

Congratulations Terry.  I’ve been here since the beginning when Ron contacted me right after you signed him up and he said ‘you gotta get on this new forum….’
It was a privilege to carry ‘Charter Member’ tag back then. A lot of posts, laughs (ah the Shrew/Black Widow bow competitions), sad moments of members lost, wealth of information and of course St. Jude auctions.  Tip of the bow hunter hat to all those who have helped you over the years. 👍👍
