Hello all!

My name is Alex, I'm 25 and currently serving in the USN. Finally a member of TradGang and I'm glad to be here!
My brother Chuck (nineworlds9) turned me on to trad bow shooting and hunting about 6 months ago when I was home on leave, fell in love instantly. He recently sent me my first bow as a gift (thanks again bro) It's a Toelke Whip 2 piece TD and boy is she a beauty. Luckily and coincidently theres a range here on base so I get to shoot pretty frequently. Theres a trad only shoot up in Wisconsin at the end of the month I plan on going to, excited to meet other bowmen and see If I cant learn a thing or two.

Hehe makes me all warm and fuzzy to see little bro here, can't say I didn't have anything to do with it  ;)   Thrilled you love your Whip Al, some of best money I've ever spent in my life for sure.  You sure have more raw natural talent with a bow than I could ever hope for.  I'm floored by your progress and proud as only a big brother can be...can't wait for our first hunt together!!!

Absolutely, my big bro and I have always been very close with our interests.
I'm currently stationed in IL but theres a trad only shoot coming up just across the border in Kenosha at the Kenosha Bowmen club the weekend of my birthday July 27th-28th.
