I saw that program too. It was good to see him on TV again. Yeh, I'll bet your right, he will be hunting soon. More power too him. Jim
Thanks guys, i was wondering about the ol' boy!
cant keep a bowhunter down fer long man.
Good on 'im.
Awesome! It's so great to hear that Tred is getting his groove back! :thumbsup:

He seems to have a great outlook on life. I am sure he will make the best of the cards that have been dealt him lately. Best wishes to Tred.
GREAT GOOOOOD TO HEAR THE NEWS
Nice to hear thanks :thumbsup:
Tracy
I know who Tred is ive watched some of his shows, but i dont have Versus. can you guys please explain what happened to Tred?
Jason
NVM.. Google just told me...i will pray for him!
He is the amazing !!!!!!!
:clapper:
Awesome news! Go get em Tred!!!!!!!
Thats really good to hear that he has high spirits.
I enjoyed watching his shows and I glad to hear he is doing better,too bad I don't get Versus anymore.
Cool. I posted this about a week ago. It got moved to the prayer section, quickly.
Glad to see the word getting out.
He always said he was made of "blue twisted steel" or something like that. I believe it. The world needs more Tred Barta's. I'll pray for him.
Glad to hear it. I don't get his show anymore but I used to watch it every week. :clapper:
He worked hard to get back. Keep on keeping on Tred!
This is certainly good news! I pray things continue to improve for him, taking him all the way back to complete health.
Thanks for letting us know since "Versus" has been removed as one of my choices on Dish.
God bless,Mudd
He demonstrates what tough is! A little faith, a little determination and an occasional dose of whoop-em will do wonders! He's on my prayer list!

Good to hear this follow up! I heard the news and was very sad for the guy. I know that I wouldnt be able to bounce back so soon, it would probably take me years!!! Good to hear it, I dont have VS anymore, and that ticks me off! But I am glad he is still doing his thing
Yep, glad to hear that he is out and about again.
That is good news! I was wondering as others were, what his condition and status was. Can't wait to see him out there hunting again. :clapper:
Great to hear
The best news ever, I love him.Any guy that does a show and misses and shows that you don't have to make a kill to have a great hunt is cool.He is the best and he will recover,its in his spirit. :thumbsup: :clapper: :clapper:
Tough man with a big heart and the strength of strong convictions. I respect men like Tred because agree with him or not he will always be truthful with you and you always know where he stands.
we can use some like that running this country.
In answer to a previous question he had been diagnosed with some type of rare viral (I believe) disease that affected his brain and spinal cord and the prognosis was last I heard paralysis from the neck down if he survived.
I had a feeling we would hear from him again, didn't you all?
:clapper:
Great love his show!!
I owe all my desire to go full trad to Tred Barta and Fred Eichler. If it weren't for those two shows I'd still likely be using training wheels. I'm gonna have to set the DVR again. We just dumped directv for cable.
He has my respect for sure. Great person with lots of guts!
I'm very happy to hear that he's back. He remains in my thoughts and prayers.
:clapper:
Go Tread
When I lived on Long Island tred would fly out of my airport all the time. I have spoken to him numerous times. A really great guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... He cant be kept down........ Happy to hear he's back up!!!!!!!
:clapper:
GREAT for Tred! One day soon I hope to be able to watch...

God Bless him and his wife. They have done alot for kids that I believe is far more important then just archery.
A truely great guy.
Yep, fishing for sails on 2lb test. It takes stones for anyone to try that, but anyone that has seen his show knows he has no lack of gumption or "vinegar" as my granddad used to call it.
Keep kicking butt Tred, and Godspeed...
Thats great Its his fault I got back into this stuff. Best wishes for him.
he will be hunting again before you know it.he will have limits of course but he will be hunting again because thats his way.
I really respect him for his spirit. If he is in a wheelchair shooting- he probably will stop missing so much ! tip of the hat to you Tred!!

X2!
That's great to hear ! I must have missed it on Versus - hopely I'll catch a rerun . God Bless ! Your the man Barta , your the Man !!
So glad to hear this news. I have DirecTV so no Versus but I have about 10 episodes of his show on DVR that I pull up and watch.
Not alot of Trad shows anywhere on TV and over time I have grown to really like Tred's show.
We have had him on our family prayer list for a long time. Great to hear he is getting back into the swing of things.
Tred is one tough bugger,glad to hear things are improving for him,we will keep up the prayers for him.
That's great! Hap
wonder if dan will still be his sidekick...sure hope so,they are funny together.
Glad he is back to what he loves.
Way to go Tred!!

That's good news. Tred is an inspiration.
God is so great!
This is all good news. Here is one for Tred. Fantastic.........
