Most of the men in my family hunts but I am the only bow hunter in my family so I basically had to self teach myself everything since I was a little kid. I am now in college and I love the sport and bow hunting in general. I am a pretty good shot but really wish I could meet/shoot with another experienced traditionalist to help me learn more about this wonderful sport.
I live in the Staten Island/NYC area, I have never even met another person who shoots traditional bows, I feel so alone and different I just wanna know if there is anyone in the area that would like to chat/shoot/maybe sometime hunt together.
Best regards,
Benny
I'm in westchester county, a 40 minute train ride from grand central. I'm always up for getting together with fellow Tradgangers
Hey Benny, I am in Staten Island. Do you shoot at willowbrook park.
Hi Benny,
You are not alone.
I live in Manhattan, and shoot weekends at Suffolk Archers in Huntington. Lots of trad shooters. We have members in all the boroughs. Both hunters, and target/3D shooters.
Anything I can do to help ... don't hesitate to contact me.
Also,
there is a range, outdoor, at Floyd Bennett field.

Hello Benny,
I'm right on the other side of the Outerbridge. It would be nice do some shooting with someone. I've also been a loner. My biggest problem is my days off are Tues-Wed. There's a range not far from me, and I'm planning on joining a club this year. The only Trad people I've ever shot with were one day at the Whittingham last year. The Whittingham is a fun shoot at the end of April. I plan to camp it for the 3 days this year. It's at the end of April. You should try it. Keep an eye on the Trad Events forum for shoots in this area. I ride a bike all year so I'm shut-down till the weather breaks, but Spring is right around the corner, I hope!
Welcome to the 'Gang by the way!
@ Steve D I usually shoot in my backyard and upstate sometimes but I would love to get together and shoot at willowbrook with you.
@DannyBows we should set something up, your real close as well.
Problem is I don't always have a car available so getting to further places like LI and stuff could be difficult.
No Problem Benny. There is a Cabin Fever shoot next month at the Black Knights and Traditional Archers of NJ.
I"m in NjJand I shoot at Willowbrook with Steve D. Maybe we can get together and meet there soon...... Mike
When the weather breaks I'll come over and shoot at Willowbrook with you.
Sounds good Danny. Mike and i shoot there.
