Stu's Calculator.

I've "met" a lot of fine people on this forum.  These folks have helped me "find" some really great recurves. I hope to stay in contact with some of these folks for a long time.

If this was my final post on Trad Gang the one thing I'm sure I'd continue to use that I found here would be Stu's Calculator. It is so much better than any charts I've ever used especially for adding or deleting components to the shaft.

Moebows shooting form posts/videos and Terry Green in hunters of Tradgang volume 1. Awesome advise has really helped me in the accuracy department.

Don't buy a Howard Hill bow, I didn't listen and ended up buying three  

that David Miller makes the #1 traditional stickbow period,, and to never buy one because you will sell ALL your other bows and shoot nothing but millers...   it was good advice so I never bought one ,,,T

I learned that I am not alone.

It wasn't exactly advice... but met Doug Treat on here and went on my first diy pack in elk hunt with his help. He turned out to be a great friend and now I'm hooked on elk hunting.

Met many other great friends on here as well. More than a "cyber community" here. It's a VERY special place!!

None of the advice I have received here is original, but it is the constant reminders of several simple truths that is so valuable. Pick a spot, hunt the wind, use very sharp broad heads, and practice, practice, practice all need to be repeated daily. In short, a constant review of the basics keeps me from becoming complacent.

Sam,

You speak the truth.......

Go hunting at Ray Hammonds Hog Heaven  

I'll tell ya John, when I got back into traditional archery after a long absence I stumbled onto this site (internet wasn't around when I stopped shooting back in the early 80s) and that little voice in my head said to register and log in. I have to say that listening to that little voice was the best advice by far...otherwise all the other great advice might not have ever happened.

"You should probably consider taking up knitting, or something!"    

Another thing I learned and the reason I took advice from a friend in Harrodsburg, KY to check out Trad Gang.

There are more respectful people on net forums than I thought.

I believe there's a ton of subliminal learning that takes place here as well.

Things like... give a man a fish and he can make a meal... teach a man to bow fish and you can forget about seeing him for a whole weekend at a time...lol

God bless,Mudd

I recieve a lot of advice fro tradganger Green when we shoot. Yesterday was all about hill bows and anchors.  Rob patiently puts up with all of my questions.  We adjusted my anchor to be lower and farther back and last night I was stacking arrows. He did give me the hill bug which I am assuming is only sated by an empty wallet.  Thanks Rob and thanks TG for helping me find a mentor 40 minutes from the house.

Terry Green's form clock and using a double anchor point. If I didn't get anything else from here, and I have, that would have been enough.
