Thanks for all your support guys!! I do want to mention a few names.

Ron LaClair and Gregg Coffey were the designer and bowyer for the Shrew Classic Hunter bow.

Ron LaClair was one of the designers of the short brimmed Stormy Kromer cap.

David Knipes (as I mentioned before) built the AD Trad Lite arrows.

Tim Harms of Braveheart Archery sold me the Stinger broadheads. Tim also sells the excellent Webster stringer I used before the hunt.

Don Ward at Eagle Flight Archery made the Cherokee two piece bow quiver.

Mike Griffith at Mike's Archery leather made the Hunter armguard.

E.W. Bateman & Co. made the cordovan tab I used (sold by various TradGang sponsors). This is my first deer using a tab. Usually I use a Grizzly Leather Wolverine "SS" Shooting Glove from Braveheart Archery.

You can see that the TradGang community was well represented on my hunt. There isn't a better bunch of people anywhere. All the equipment performed flawlessly. I'm glad so many of us support our sponsors and fellow TradGangers. I have been shooting trad equipment for 52 years, but I have learned more about trad archery in the last 2 years than I did in the half century before that.

I failed to mention that the reason I learned so much about trad archery in the last 2 years is from being here on TradGang!

Nice shooting, tasty deer!

[WESTBROOK]

Well done Allan!

Just curious, what do those Trad-Lites weigh they way you have them setup. I've been pondering trying them.

Eric,

They weigh 610 grains with the 100 grain brass inserts and the 150 grain Stingers. You really should try them out. David Knipes built up the arrows I used, but I would recommend Paul Mattson at Badger Arrows if you want professionally built arrows. Not that David didn't do a good job, he's just not in the business.
