I switched to Trad in 08" but didn't join here till 09", a lot has happened between then and now and I will share some photos of what the journey has looked like.

This was my setup my first year, 08"......

Ben Pearson Colt 45# @ 28"

First trad harvest....

I was Hooked!

Small but so gratifying!!!

Second Trad Harvest, Really Hooked!!!!!

Good Friends to enjoy it with!!!

And a son who thought it was pretty cool as well.

Looks like hes in for doing it the hard way....
