Title: New here and wanted to say hello....
Post by: Danielle on July 03, 2008, 04:53:00 PM
I'm TradPaul and it is my pleasure to introduce my lovely wife to all the great people here. She started shooting about 2 months ago and took to it like a natural and this month she will be attending ATAR with me shooting her new Mikuta Longbow. I'm truly a blessed man to have my best friend and wife share a passion of mine...


   :)     Thanks baby for the introduction. Hello everyone, I am happy to be apart of such an awesome community of shooters. When you take part of an online community such as this, you never really know what you are going to truly get when you finally meet up with the people face to face. And so far when ever I have come along side with my husband to an event, I have always been so suprised as to how friendly and real you all are.
Well I have been shooting for only a little bit, but ya gotta start somewhere    :)     I originally started up shooting when my husband took a real love to it. I know when Paul takes something on, he puts his all in it and that includes his time. He is my best friend, so that means if he is doing it, than so am I! In the process of learning the art of it all, I fell in love myself    :)     So everytime the kids are down for a nap or the moment we put em' to bed at night, we spring our butts out there to hit some targets. We love it.
To make a long story longer, I would like to thank Joe Skipp and Ed Mikuta for this amazing bow I just got. It is beautiful and I don't deserve it! Hopefully one day I will do it justice!

Some pix were too big bud.....re-size and re-post

Not sure that anchor point on the side of the nose is legal in tournaments. Lovely bow and partner.

Hi!

Nice introduction.
I wish that I would have thought to introduce myself properly.

(I guess that I've been in the bush too long)

YAYYY for danielle! Congrats and welcome...I got my wife shooting she lasted about a week (at least I got another bow out of it) and fizzled out...Wish I could kick start her with my boot or something...Keep shooting!!

I'm not much of a joiner myself, Danielle, but Team Pink is a somewhat honorable organization, in a disorganized way, of course. Glad you met Joe Skipp, he's one of the good ones!

Nice armguard! I am yet to be welcomed anywhere, alas. But my armguard is not nearly so nice. While women are increasingly welcome in all arenas of hunting, you are especially welcome by the TradGang, who are so far as I can tell the cream of the crop. Your hubby is obviously proud, and more power to you both. d

Welcome aboard!  Great to see more ladies involved in the fun.  I also noticed the cool armguard.  Very nice.

Looking pretty (as always) in pink, Killie.

Welcome, Danielle, (got a granddaughter and a great niece that carry that name too - always like it). Love to see ladies joining their men in archery, does this ol' heart good. See y'all at ATAR. I'll be the funny lookin' little ol' gnome that The Hat drags around.

Is there something wrong with Pink Feathers?? I'd hate to refletch all my arrows.

Don't worry Bob...keep the feathers on...this is what Danielle will be shooting...

Hope not..I just ordered some should be here today.

Turkey feathers on carbonwoods look nice but damn hard to find when you miss    :)


Good looking arras Joe
