Title: New Member AlanF goes Traditional
Post by: tippit on May 18, 2008, 10:01:00 PM
We had a great time with Alan Fleming this weekend at the Buckhorn Traditional Shoot in Western Massachusetts.  Alan had posted an introduction a few week ago so I invited him to join our group at the shoot.  He hadn't really shot much traditional equipment but had a Horne Bush bow on order.  It just so happened that I had a similar Horne bow for him to use.  Plus the rest of the group gave him some arrows, tab, arm guard, and a little bit of coaching.  Alan took to it right away and in no time was out shooting the course with all of us.

Alan is a Chaplin in the Navy stationed with the Marines.  A great guy and a real gentleman.  I really enjoyed having Alan join us...Doc

Congrats on choosing the path, and finding a great coach!  You won't be disappointed in the brush bow either!

Wow, what a great time and I learned so much hanging around with some truly fine people.  It was humbling to be so warmly and generously received.

Doc - This happened because of your kindness and generousity.  From the bow, the arrows, the armguard, the tab, to the words of encouragement and instruction - thanks so much.

Tom - thanks for receiving a rookie like I was one of the gang and for sharing your arrows and the dvd (I've already watched half of it).  Looking forward to next year already.  

Rob and Brett - your welcome was genuine and your guidance timely, and the shooting glove about as slick as they come.  Thanks guys and hopefully I can visit you on the Cape and see if we can entice a coyote or two.

Cecil - you have my utmost respect and gratitude.  Your at the core of what has made this Land great.  Thanks brother and Semper Fi.

God bless,
Alan
