Title: It all started with...
Post by: Friends call me Pac on January 02, 2009, 03:22:00 PM
A PSE Impala that had been gathering dust for about 3 years.  Last summer I dug it out and attempeted to keep 5 arrows in a hay bale at a modest 10 yards.  

Now it is 6 months later and I have added a Bear Black bear, Pearson Hawk and a Damon Howatt Hunter to the collection.

I have made a rack to store my bows on.  I have 2 deer hides in the freezer from deer that I actually got with my PSE this year.  They are waiting to be worked and tanned by me to make a quiver and whatever else I can think of.

I have made arrangements to visit a fellow Tradgang member's home that isn't to far away to learn how to make a Flemish string.

What else can I exspect to get into with this trad stuff.  Someone else wrote that they were a trad a holic.  Where and when is the next meeting?    :archer:

PRE-ZACTLY!!!    :biglaugh:  


It all started for me about 18 years ago with a Shawnee Traditions longbow. (wish I knew where that bow was now!)  Career, family; life changes and I got away from archery and hunting for quite a while.  About 3 years ago, a new GN Ghost recurve, and I was hooked again.

My point is:  You're done!  For anyone that truly loves shooting stickbows, it never goes away!

It is definately an addiction.  I just traded a friend, who wants to start shooting trad, a PSE Impala, quiver, and some arrows for an old black powder revolver that was laying around his place.  

Then the other day I saw an ad in a local online classified for a PSE Heritage Series Raven, I bought it because I had an empty peg on the bow rack.  I have more bows than I can shoot but the rack looked out of balance.
