aim small...release:
Welcome to Tradgang. Welcome to traditional archery.
If you are anywhere near Kalamazoo - or can get there...go to this show:
http://www.gnbco.com/expo_kalamazoo.php
Jan 24-26th at the Kalamazoo expo center. Sponsored by Great Northern Bow company.
GREAT show. You can learn a ton. You can even meet Mr. South Cox of Stalker Stickbows.
My buddy Craig (monkeyball) had a Trinity a while ago. He did a real nice write-up with lots of pics on the Product Review forum. Check it out.
FYI, Edward will be there too.
Thanks for all of the info. Peace!
Thank you all for the warm welcome. this traditional thing is some addiction lol. thanks to a doe kill on dec 9th i no longer own any wheels. i will be attending k-zoo expo that is where i will be picking my bow up from edward...i am estatic to get it. its all black myrtle with i believe elm veneers with clear glass. i have some pictures ed sent soon as i can figure how to post them.
If anyone could help with how to add a photo from my phone to here would be awsome. I want to share edwards work
I sent you a PM on pictures.
What model are you getting?
I really like the look of the Black Moose. I am glad to see Edward will be at Kalamazoo.
Ceme i will thanks for the pm i will be getting the rogue it has a slight twist on the reflext deflex design and from hiw edward explained it it deff adds some speed. that bow won the 2012 professional long bow award. the black moose and tge elite have the same limb design your classic d shape but head really speaks highly of their thump and smoothness.

Welcome to the gang!
Tim
Thanks to ceme for telling me how to do this. here are some pics ed sent me of my almost completed rogue longbow. let me know what you all think.
thanks far rider It is all black myrtle a very interesting peice of wood he got. i think the veneers are elm??? i am not 100% i will be talkin to ed today and i will post exact woods later.
I checked him out. Love the Elite design (since I shoot Hills I guess), and his craftsmanship looks awesome! Can't imagine you'll be disappointed at all.
Tim
yeah im thinking i wont be lol he was telling me how much he loved the elite. smooth and delivered a real thump he said. i think any if them would be great bows. this will be my first long bow.

yeah he did mention fly fishing. man hes a jack of all trades and the way his bows look atleast a master of one. ceme i bet hell have one of those weird lookin things called a lefty long bow lol.
Brandon,
I saw your bow at Kalamazoo. What a treasure. Edward is a class act. I was very impressed with his workmanship, the quality of wood and I had a wonderful discussion with him.
I wish he had more lefties there...especially a Black Moose.
Congratulations on the new bow and if Edward sees this, thank you for coming all the way out to K-zoo. I am sorry the weather led to low attendance. that's an unfortunate risk this time of year. It's a great time for a show...if the weather it good...
Just got back from kzoo.
Shot some of the trinity bow's and was very impressed.
Beautiful bow's that shot very well.
Grip was very comfortable and repeatable, and the bow was quiet on the shot.
To me, one of the best bow's i was able to shoot at the show. :thumbsup:
I was not dissapointed whatsoever with my bow it is a treasure ill have with me for a long time.
