Kinda' new here, just introducing myself.  I am John Ferguson, been shooting trad for about 5 years or so.  LOVE IT!! I have killed many deer with my Robertson and just got a new one.
Reason I am posting this is because of the acronyms used. (ttt, btw,and such) I have never been a member of a forum like this, never found one that interested me until now, but i need to find out what some of these initials mean.  Thanks for your help,
John

Hi My name is Mudd and I'm an addict.Welcome to the family. I can tell you it will be addicting if you love traditional archery half as much as the folks that hang out here do.
I think I've been around here since Moby Dick was in a fish bowl and yet there isn't hardly a day that passes that I don't learn something new off of this site.
Drag up a log, put your feet up by the virtual fire and enjoy.
God bless,Mudd

PS Thank you for your generous offer to match Izzy (http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=081053) with some type of warm clothing for a young hunter. May God bless you richly.
