Title: First Visit To TG In Many Years!
Post by: WildmanSC on July 24, 2026, 10:16:18 PM
This is myy first visit to TG in many years.  My wife and I moved to Central NC 10 years ago the end of last month.  I had to give up shooting my trad bows before the archery season opened in Central NC in September 2016. My trad bow now hangs on the wall in my man cave.  It's a T/D recurve with a riser built by the trad archery element of an archery retail store in PA and a set of Mach I limbs built by Morrison Archery.

I'm just dropping in to say howdy and wish everyone a great and safe 2026 deer hunting season!!!  The young girl I'm holding in my profile pic turned 22 in March, graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a BS in Nursing in May and started her first nursing job at a UNC branch hospital in Siler City, NC on Monday of this week!  My how time flies!!!

 :wavey: I was wondering where you went. Our girls are the same age. I was just looking at an old photo of her shooting her lil' bow.  I just sent a message to Purple Heart; I lost touch with him as well.

Hi Bill, glad you are still kicking and back here to enjoy fellowship. As we age we all change our priorities and equipment but still can enjoy archery.

Lots of folks over the years,  they come and go ..... disappear many times.   Sometimes it's not a bad thing. But all too often,  it's a very sad thing!  And I hate that,  but I know it's part of life.
In this instance though,  glad to see you back Sir ...... back around the fire once again!  :thumbsup:   :campfire:
