Title: the people from this site
Post by: hydrasport205 on March 18, 2011, 10:15:00 AM
the people from this site is like no other out there. We take care of each other and watch out for each other by posting those names of dishonest people. For example my wife said that she would try traditional archery, and seeing as she never shot a bow in her life I didnt want to spend alot of money on her first bow. So I posted on tradgang that I was looking for a starter bow that was nice but not expensive. Many of you sent me a message telling me what you had. But a man by the name of Jack shanks told me what he had and sent me some pics.Well I told him that I wanted it and asked if he could hold it for me for a couple of weeks till I got paid. After just getting married and building a house money is kinda tight, anyway he said that he would. Well 2 days before I get paid there is a long box at my door Jack had sent me the bow before I paid him and even made me a new string. Your are a class act Jack Shanks and so are the rest of you. I hope this site never looses the good hearted, honest people that this site was based on..

I love seeing these stories.  There are some really genuine people here.  I hope to someday be one of the generous ones.

There is a certain kindred brothership that is
felt by traditional archers. It is a need to do
that "right thing" in our soul. I think it go's
all the way back to the days of King Arthur and
the nights of the round table. There is romance
within the stick and string.

Great! Just take a moment to reflect. Would you do the same for another member of your family.

The Traditional Gang may have an unwritten and subliminal message that your 'word', as in the past, traditionally remains golden.

I agree...I think it's just the nature of the traditional shooter....keeping it honest, and real.

TG restores my faith in mankind, because of the things i have seen, and the information i have, the world is a very dangerous place. TG is my home outside the US.

Duncan Idaho (Bill) May you make it back to the US safe and sound. I would imagine TG is a piece of home for you. I assume you are serving our country over there and I THANK YOU. God Bless to you and your buddies over there...
