you have many friends here Katie, it is a BIG family. every day in the woods is a learning experiance, you keep learning as you go. you will be bringing along MANY good friends with you when you carry that hawk. you have a bright bowhunting future ahead of you, enjoy yourself and have fun!

Congrats katie, use it well! Good folks these Trad Gangers.

Hey "Lady Hawk", you'll have your Longhunter shirt in a day or two. Slip that hawk on a belt and wear it on the outside of your shirt then send the Gang a picture.    

congrats katie!!      

You're part of it all Katie! Thank YOU! And your welcome.

Find a chunk of timber and chuck that rascal. I think you'll be impressed

Nicely done everyone.
Congrats Katie, you showed alot of us how it should be done.

I agree tradgang is a great resource and is as addictive as traditional archery and bow hunting.
Thanks....

Joe

Thats a super gesture on someones part. They must have felt you deserved it. Now you need a belt to hang it on and maybe one of Rons' hunting shirts..PR

The Tradgang is truly a great bunch of folks. This is a great place to learn, provide a helping hand, tell a story, or read one. I occasionally visit other archery forums, but none compare to the Gang. I am always appalled at the nastiness of some on those other sites. We all owe a thank you to the mods here as well as the membership as a whole.

Congrats, Katie. Nice Hawk for a nice gal! Thanks to those who helped bring it to you.

This is a great site because of the great people that call this place home. All I can say Katie is welcome home and nice hawk.

Traditional archery seems to naturally lend itself to the "family" mindset - that's what drew me to it in the first place.  So as Paulie Walnuts would say, 'Welcome to the family!'  

Thats one heck of a nice tommyhawk, but it needs a discarded hawk feather dangling from the handle.  Wouldn't happen to have one of those, would ya?  ;-)

Yep, this place is the best. Its a different world in here, the people here never cease to amaze me!

It is nice to have a sight where advise and adventures are shared with out all the bashing and hating. Congrats on the hawk !!  Joe

Katie, You, your ethics and your stick-to-ativeness  are an inspiration to us all. Take to heart that you did all you could and carry that with you to the next hunt.     Pat

Couldn't agree with you more Katie.  The trad gang family is the best.  There are times when I feel like I am just sitting around a camp fire with a great bunch of friends, eventhough I'm thousands of miles away.  Helps keep my sanity  in this screwed up world.  
Great job on the Hawk Ron!!

You inspired a lot of us, and you deserve the hawk.  Think of us when you carry it!
