Pac, nice bow, looks familiar? Mike

You be the judge

There is no room for error or frivolity in trad archery. We are the bearers and conservators of ten thousand years of sacred pursuit. Our demeanor and bearing must reflect the solemnity of our obligation, and radiate the respect that we hold for it. Upon seeing us, Outsiders should immediately comprehend that we are engaged in an activity by which the current existence of mankind is made possible. If not for archery and hunting, mankind would not exist. Our mien should project the simple truth that the world, as a whole, owes us. Big Time.





This young man has gotten the concept firmly ingrained.

That's what I use for my anchor point. PS: Better form then me!!

We may be "serious" at the tradgang.. Serious about fellowship of the bow and having fun doing it.  

On the rare occasion that I/we shoot around modern equipment shooters there are definate differances.  One side of the range is laughing and having fun,, the other is quiet except for thier very loud compounding devices and then the frequent mumbles about adjusting this or that wizbang rest, sight ect...

Give me the "fun" side always.

That's Josh's pride and joy.  I bet he sleeps with it like the kid with the Red Ryder in A Christmas Story.

Later that day I shot 2 balloons at 25 yards and kept asking Josh to shot at 25 too.  He wouldn't do it and kept shooting at 20 yards.  

After pulling arrows once again I was behind Josh as we headed back to our respective firing lines.  To my suprise Josh walked past 20 and didn't stop until he was at the 25.  It took about 3 shots but he nailed the balloon.  He didn't say much but I know he was proud of his shot.  

Two months ago he had never shot a bow in his life and now he is a balloon killer at 25 yards.  Yea I'm proud of him.  He's doing very well.  

haven't been able to take him hunting yet due to his job but I hope to get him out there before the season ends at the end of February.

Yep, this is a great group here.  You were told right.

It's OK to be serious about your shooting, but it's supposed to be fun.  If you're not having fun you're doing something wrong.

Enjoy the sport, and the trad-gang family you've come to know.
