A shooting buddy.      

TBM

I can't remember exactly when or how, but was searching the internet for traditional gear and accidently came upon a link and was directed to it from another site.
I'm not superstitious, not generally prone to good fortune, but this site has been my best ever find on the internet.
Never been involved with a better group of people in my lifetime.
I once said, (in reference to Trad Gang and it's member involvement with the annual St. Judes auction)
"I've never met a finer group of people gathered under one roof, so dedicated to such a noble cause".
And it's as true today as it was then.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the finest people on planet earth.

My buddy Mike(mcgroundstalker) told me about this sight.  I checked it out and thought it was great. Lots of info and lost of stuff for sale.

A customer was in my taxidermy shop and we were talking trad archery. I told him about another site and he said " you need to try tradgang. I wrote it down looked it up and I've been enjoying it and learning from you guys ever since. Thanks for all the advice. It has shortened my learning curve greatly.

I just stumbled across TG one afternoon while surfing around. Prior to that it felt like I was the only traditional archer in the world other than the guys I read about in TBM. Since then I have met so many trad archers, some who live not too far away, and some on the other side of the world. Now I know I am not alone in my hobby and my interest in classic Bear bows.

So glad I found TG as it is my home away from home!!!

A buddy of mine lonewolf73 told me about it and i have been  here ever since.

A hunting buddy was talking about it one day. Back then I didn't get on the internet much. Now I am here almost every day.

I live in a relatively isolated northern community and don't have the opportunity to share my passion with anyone nearby.

Being a professional hunting guide for many years gave me the chance to meet other traditional bowhunters (from the U.S.A.) who thankfully made me aware of Trad gang. In fact, I found out about Trad gang before we had Internet service here and before I learned to use a computer. Trad gang was a major motivating factor for me to learn.

Special thanks goes out here to DAVE BULLA.

He introduced me to Trad gang by discussing one of my vids on youtube.

Our own "Whip" (Joe Larsch). Best thing I ever joined!

in early 2003 i got this call from terry, 'wish i could start my own trad archery forum' ... welp, his wish was my command and here we are, over 6 years later, and WAY bigger 'n' we ever dreamed or asked for, too.    

looking for traditional information.
this site is the greatest.  

I was in line at a buffet, the 4 guys in front of me kept talking about it between fighting over the chicken wings. can't remember there names, 2 we're twins from the midwest somewhere,1 was a big guy from Georgia, and the other was a guy from Flordia, I think he was homeless and they we're just buying him lunch! Ha!

way too long ago but I joined on day 1...seems like that would make ya a Charter Member...lots old old timers on this thread!

Searching the web for aluminum arrow chart info. I found the info I was looking for and a whole lot more.

Out in Wyoming at a Family renuion (InLaws) brought a couple of bows along and was doing some shooting. One of my wifes uncles came out with a few of his bows. We spent the next few days shooting and during that time he mentioned this site. When I got back home found the site and joined. I had been shooting Trad bows for years. Great place and great people.
