Title: tradgangers i salute you
Post by: PAPA BEAR on August 26, 2009, 05:09:00 AM
i sit here day after day reading posts from every walk of life here on tradgang.you are without a doubt the best group of fine people i have ever had the pleasure to be associated with,from the smooth velvet words of killdeer to the tireless neverending efforts of vermonster to place bows in the hands of children.the antics of many to the sorrow when one of your trad brothers or sisters falls.i cannot tell you how many times i have felt tears roll down my face be it from laughing or sorrow at someones demise.the effort that goes into the st,jude auction every year and never a complaint.  and a host of different causes.
  you are the people i wanted to be like when i grew up,a family a brotherhood like no other.i salute each and every one of you for your efforts.you are as real and honorable as anyone can get.as i hunt you will all be by my side as i draw my bow and pick my spot.i am sure glad i picked this spot..............larry

Yeah, I feel like I've wasted a lot of my time wandering around other sites like a prodigal son, this is Home now. Thanks, to all that make it what it is.

The kind of guys and gals in this forum.....are the kind of neighbors you want.....the kind of folks you want riding by if you're broke down.....and the kind of folks that would put YOU in THEIR best stand...just to watch you succeed.

I second everything said, above.  Salt of the earth.....all.

While we're sharing accolades, lets not forget the many hours, blood sweat and tears, not to mention good ole fashioned hard-earned dollars that Terry and his crew muster up every day, week, month to make it all possible.  Imagine the headaches associated with a site this large.

Remember as we bask in the glow, that we can each and every one be a "contributor" for a small investment. I let mine slide some after 13 months of unemployment, but I'm now working and a check is due to shoot outa here toward ole Terry Green.  

This site is free, but it ain't cheap! Thanks Tarz. Thanks Rob... Thanks Mods!

I am very proud to be part of something that is definately in a class by itself..  no other web site will bring you closer to the love of traditional archery than this site ...  from the helpful advice of so many when you want to know the brace height of a certain bow or the phone number of a certain bowyer to the prayers that are posted for each other when we are in a time of need to the selflessness of those just giving away a bow or quiver to some lucky member for guessing the number of broadheads in a cup. To the helping of young hunters and passing this tradition on to the children..Thank you TRADGANG for letting me be a part of such a prestigous group of people

I am blessed to have been accepted by such a fine group as you all here. I am truely amazed at the caring and giving I have seen here. After seeing all the hate in the world you people have shown me the greatest side of poeple. I am glad to know it is still out there. YOU SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE. I would like to be a contributor if someone would be kind enough to send the info to me. It would be my honor to help such a giving group.

Yup, it's a great place to call home. The members I have met are every bit as genuine and caring as they appear on this site. I'd gladly share a campfire with any Tradgang member.   :thumbsup:

You said it better than I could have Elkbreath, and Doc, you hit the nail on the head.  This is without a doubt the finest brotherhood I've had the priviledge to be associated with.  Sometimes I find it hard to believe that Terry, Guru, Rod Jenkins and the like take time out of their busy days to help me (and many like me) become better traditional shooters, therefore better and more ethical hunters.  All of the members here are amazing folks, and it all starts at the top as far as I'm concerned.  Well Said Elkbreath and Well Done Moderators!  I thank you all!
