Trad Gang

I just got my tax return money and I have the money to buy Some GT's! But the only GT's available here in the UK are sold by Merlin archery and were made by GT for BearPaw. I rang 3Rivers and they were very helpful (as usual, top marks) and would really like to buy them from them.But the thing is, it is 30 dollars something just in shipment costs..and the wife gave me the evil eye straight away...
So I'm left with these GT's that were produced for BearPaw but that apparently have a poor finish since the wood pattern seems to wear off when stump shooting, if I am to rely on the review they have on their product review section. I don't know what to do...I really want to order the carbons..I've been waiting for months for that money to come!!!    :help:

You need to take control of your women! Give me your address and I'll send her a good ol' "How to respect your Kentucky man" video. Our preachers hand them out to our aspiring brides at the rehearsal dinners. They are on VHS though so if thats a problem we will see what the next tradganger comes up with. Here's a clip from the movie...

P.S. my VHS gave out a few months back so I am hoping they make copies soon on a DVD before I lose control of my women. I have to set her down to watch it at less every three months.

Check Big Jim's Website--he usually has them and at a better price.

Get a hold to BigJim and see what he can do. The shipping, on a pair of limbs, I ordered from the UK was $25.

Arrow Dynamics tapered carbon....a great arrow.

KentuckyTJ--NICE!!  Lemme know how much recuperation time there is after she sews you up in the bed sheets while your sleepin' and beats ya with a broom!  Arf, Arf, you Dawg!!   :knothead:

I'm callin you out as I've seen that act!  But on a serious note....I need my video back!

Mike, we really should send it to Fidelios. He's a Brother in bad need. Your wife just gets sassy when she drinks. I can't send him my copy, I got married so long ago mine is on 8mm and I know he doesn't have a projector for it.

Loooooooooool!! Thank for the advice eheh I tried to ring Big Jim but it went to the answering machine..He maybe gone to hunt bears..

But the GT's take a good beating don't they Joe Skip? I break loads of arrows...

Yeah, rang Big Jim and the price for shipping is too high..it comes to the same price I will get for the BearPaw ones plus inserts, feathers, different gr points, glue and other bits and bobs..what a shame ..damn shipping charges..I would love to buy from him...buaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Not too high because it's Jim fault,though. It's standard price.

Sorry brudder!  Guess that's what you get for livin' in the YUKE!  So the shipping is going to cost you 1/3 what the shafts cost??  Crimeny!

Teeje--Good thing ya ain' skeered!  She'll probably just use a dust broom. easier to "load up" for the power stroke.  and it will take her a while to tire out.  Good luck my fellow caveman!

I may need to borrow that video....and cut my hair so she has less to grab?..   :bigsmyl:

Try to buy them in The Netherlands or Germany. Probably shipping costs will be lower then!
This is a good shop in Germany:

I wanted to suggest the same as Flying Dutchman.
we got a bunch of shops with all kinds of trad stuff here. Only tips over 145grain or BHs or some special items are hard to get.

Send you a PM also.

Also, if you have problems with german webshops/the language, i can get things together and ship em to you. Ill make sure that the shipping costs are as low as possible and since both are Euro-zone therell be no custom charges.

Another thing is, with the Bearpaw shafts you gotta keep in mind they have two different kinds of shafts with wood finish.

One is identical to the GT Trad (except they are alittle darker finish and all come in 32,5" length) this is the Bearpaw Timber Stick and as far as i know it has no problem with the finish The other, wich has the problem with the finish is the Penthalon wood grain or the like, its a very thin shaft with spines from 1300 to 600 and is mainly for kids, or olympic shooters.

If i can help in any way please feel free to contact me!

AD's take a hell of a beating also. I rate them better than GT.

T.J,
I thought that was the wife with the club in the hand and didn't you use to have long hair like that?   Is that "DINO" in that pic from the Flintstones?....Take it from a man who's been around a while "You fellas know if your wive's read this you are all loosing your "Tradgang viewing privliges" Except meeeeee...    :laughing:

Du Axel,

du bist ein guter Bursche!

Anyhow, my wife knows that whatever I say is the best for her!

Does that mean the wife is the Boss in your house?  :laughing:

Looks like the fellow with the club is committing bigamy? The big one has been in the sun too long.

Club ain't squat against a .45.
Just sayin'.
Guys are funny.

Killdeer          :p

when a .45 speaks, I am silent Killy!  :)

Leave it to Killdeer to put everything in perspective   :notworthy:

Yup!

TJ my woman don't get mean when she dranks unless it's some of her uncles shine and then she's downright violent! But like you "I ain't skeered"
