Hey,
   I'm new to the list and this is my first post. I've been shooting traditional equipment off and on since 1974. I've been shooting a Loftin Longbow since the late 80's, used it to take several deer, and started hunting this season with an Osage self bow 60#@26", cane arrows w/ southeastern 2 fletch, and stone points. Hope to put a few pigs in the freezer, maybe some venison as well if I'm lucky. I started doing primative skills a few years ago, and that interest has led me to make my own equipment and hunt with it. Glad to be able to find a site like this one.

Welcome !

Welcome come in and sit a while.  

Welcome yalobusha. I'm a transplanted "Rome" boy myself. Dad went to West Georgia, and the whole family worked at Pepperill.

Welcome!  

Yalobusha.....welcome...you need to hook up with the Traditional Bowhunters of Ga...look for a guy named RC on here or Schuster..they are the finest traditional spot and stalk hog "harvesters" in the world. South ga is full of traditional bowhunters, good ones too..I hunted with some of them down there for 10 years.

I'm from Indianola...I know the Loftons and Mark Dauler too! and Kong Foo Jerry Kattwar.

Macon,Ga here, Welcome any oyhers around you shooting traditional.

Joebuck,
I lived in Greenville,MS from 1985 till 1991, and was one of the original members of the Mississippi Traditional Archers. My wife made the t-shirts for the first ever "Lofton Classic", of course back then we only need about 20. I have worked in the shop with Mr. Bobby and Mark as well shooting  a whole lot of 3D with Jerry Katawar. We used to either have, or go to a shoot about every weekend back in the day.
  I talked to Mr. Bobby Lofton on the phone a few months ago, I was hoping he was still making a few bows, but he is now retired. I was looking for a 40# longbow for my youngest son.
 I was a member of TBG in the early 90's,right after we moved here and before work got in the way of having fun and have just rejoined this past year. I have chased hogs with Randy Keene, and Chris Ward here lately. There are some really good folks in the TBG for sure.

Welcome here too, Ken !
