Trad Gang

nice time with the wife and son,we shot and had a blast. i met BIG JIM...super nice guy!...looked at his bows and zippers,blackcreeks,treadways....thats where the trouble is....im in need of one of each!  :archer2:

Did you shoot a black creek?

I'm sure you're not alone.I couldn't make it this year,unfortunate for me,fortunate for my wife.I just got a Buffalo Bow off a fellow tradganger that I believe is going to be a very good bow once I get it tuned to my style but my Treadways are shooters.Good luck figuring out your delimma.

Heading for Denton in a couple of weeks and I will be in you same situation I am sure,been eyeing the Zippers for a while and now I hear Tall Tines is going and my favorite Bob Morrison oh brother I wont have any hair when I get back.

Know how you feel , shot a Zipper for the first time . Came close to going all in on one , but came to my senses. What a great shooting bow.
Picked up a used Zebrawood Pa widow from Big Jim , good guy to deal with . That was a very enjoyable weekend , Roy

Anyone get to shoot a Hoots bow there?

The Zipper is a nice bow, in 2007 one followed me home from ATAR. I didn't look hard yesterday because I knew where it would lead  ;)

Those Blackcreek bows are fast.

you should use the phone a friend theory when looking at bows or bring him with so save time and he can help carry them

I was pretty impressed with the Blackcreek Bows and the Morrison Mini 14. But I'm not in trouble I am to broke to buy with or without permission so I came home with the same amount of bows! But I am getting a plan together to have one ASAP!!!

Uhhh, fellow bowbuyers anonymous.  I have to confess that I too fell off the wagon again at ATAR.  Had no idea of buying a bow!  Honest!  :rolleyes:  I decided to just "try out" a few so if anybody ever asks me "Have you ever shot a xxxx bow and if so how was it?"  You know, just gathering information.  I shot a Black Creek, a Big Jim Buffalo bow, and then I fell into the embrace of a Mike Treadway Black Swamp longbow, Oh the shame  :eek: .  I really didn't mean to do it, but it just felt so right.  So I brought her home with me--my wife does not even mind   :bigsmyl: .  Boy is that bow a shooter--60" and 50#@28" draw, and a lefty to boot.  Hot dog---I mean, oh me!  I promise I will do better next time   .

Doug in MI:

I shot an Annawakee Addiction Bow made for John Dill by Lee Hoots.....and ended up buying it at ATAR.....great shooter and good looking.....told myself that I was only going to test it out.....but I'm weak......! I love the bow......

David Mitchell!

You sir, are incorrigible.  You have officially joined the "worse than ME club."  Didn't we have a talk about this problem just a few months ago?    :knothead:  

btw... I've heard a lot of great reports about those bows.  Looking forward to shooting yours.  :help:

David just thinks he bought it. Old Mike is such a salesman he SOLD David the bow.

Don't feel bad, he sold me one to the last year ATAR was a Winterplace    ;)

Now c'mon, Jim, I know I'm not that bad yet--worse than you??!!
