Because of Trad Gang I think of helping others more often. :jumper:
.....my wife and daughter get to enjoy archery as well without breaking my wallet with all the newest and best mechanical stuff needed with compound bows; shooting 3-D's really is a familiy thing with us!
Because of Trad Gang my brother in law is into archery and i have a new hunting partner.
I have given more than taken.
All of the above,along with my son and Nephew now enjoying Trad Archery.
Met some great people that actually have the same interest as me.
In 50 years of shooting Trad have become a better shot and learned a ton about shooting,growing up there was no one or anyplace to learn.THESE are the GOLDEN years with new GOOD bowyers showing up daily.I love it !
Because of Trag Gang, I have faith in my fellow man again and have hope for my childrens future. There are a lot more good people out there then you imagine, when living in Seattle.
Because of TradGang.... I have Met and Dealt with some of the Best People on the Planet!!Everyone is willing to Help a Rookie with Typical Rookie Problems, and often will Donate to a Newbies Cause!!
Look at the St. Jude Total for this Year!!!
THAT says it ALL!!
Because of Tradgang..... I can be a blessing to some......... and I am blessed by it far more than anyone will ever know.
Your Humble Servant
Always working for the perfect day!
God bless,Mudd
PS: The perfect day is when you can do something for someone without expecting anything in return.. even better is when the other can't possibly give or do anything in return.
I have met great people seen great places learned more than I can retain and most of all new friends that that share a Passion like mine.
Because of Trad Gang my confidence has been renewed that there are still honorable men and women who choose to hunt and help each other the way God made us to.
I have learned what a "real" archery forum is all about and how generous people involved in traditional archery are(St. Judes Auction.)
I have learned that it is a good thing that I can not afford a custom bow because the quality that is out there and the amount of talented bowyers would make the decision nerve racking.
Whatever you shoot and whatever you shoot out of it is less important than just the fact that your are shooting traditional and enjoying it.
When you ask a rookie question, you will get a lot of good answers from people looking to help you out, not make you feel stupid for not knowing something that should be "common knowledge."
And last but not least, I have learned that you can have friends and mentors without ever meeting them first. That makes this site the best out there.
I can be part of a traditional bow hunting community even though we are only two trad hunters in about a 150km radius.
I have found my perfect set up. I have been able to give to others, I have been making friends and shooting a lot more. Etc.......
Because of Trad Gang I have lost of new friends that our good friends :thumbsup:
Good Stuff Gang!

Because of TG I have met similar minded people and some I consider good friends.Cyber space never was my domain until I found this site, thanks Terry, Rob,& mods. Fine job!
Everything that's already been said plus I don't get as much work done when I'm in my office.
Because of Tradgang, I have learned that even though one thinks of themselves as having it bad, there are others that are less fortunate than me. To see the help and offerings to people that are in need, or has lost, with no way to build back, this community picks them back up, and lets them stand. Thanks to anyone who has ever given, and not ask in return. That is truely "Traditional"
I can go into the woods without the I have to kill something mentality and have realized that being there was just as good or better. I have become a more consious and appreciative hunter because of Trad Gang.
I have discovered that the journey is the part I relish and the true meaning of being a Trad hunter.
Made some great friends and learned more than I ever thought I needed to know.
Built and shot my first all wood bow which is going off in the Trad Gang bow trade. I have also started to build and fashion my rig for this fall made entirely by myself (except the stone heads) saving those for later LOL
Love it here! Thanks Gang
Because of Trad Gang...My wife is always ribbing me about chatting with all my "boyfriends".
Seriously...Because of Trad Gang I have become a much better amateur bowyer.
Because of Trad Gang... I found a place where people have civil discussions
Because of Trad Gang... I found a place where people aren't just willing to, but go out oh their way to pass on information- with PMs, emails, phone calls and meetings
Because of Trad Gang... I have a place to spend my time every day as I while away the hrs in my recliner because of injuries( I will get back to shooting eventually, hopefully)
My family makes fun of my blogging- but to me
Because of Trad Gang... I am gathering knowledge, meeting new people and hopefully , Bettering myself

Because of Trad Gang my journey to gain more knowledge of traditional archery is enjoyable, satisfying and enlightening.
Because of tradgang I don't have to always hunt alone. I now am attempting to make bows and now making strings. I have learned more about the trad world and people than I thought but mainly I learned that there are others that think of bowhunting in a honest way. There are very few people that shoot traditional around here, I may be the only one left here in my community. So I come here to learn and bond with other traditionalist. It is great place to hang out. :campfire:
Because of Tradgang my love of archery has been rekindled. I have been reminded what bowhunting is really all about...having fun and enjoying the journey! That includes making my own arrows, bows, improving my shooting form, sharing stories, etc. But most of all it is developing relations with others that share the same love of archery.
Thanks to all who are welcoming, inspiring and helpful!

Because of Trad Gang, I have rekindled a passion that had been slowly burning out. I have met, shot with, and now call friends......people that I would have never known existed otherwise. I have listened and learned what it is that hunting with a stick and string is all about. The quality of people that exist on this site, never cease to amaze me. I'm glad that I "stumbled" into it a few short years ago.
