Hi All,

I've been lurking for several months and found enough good stuff with your site to want to participate a bit more.

I have been an archer for .......oh, maybe 50 years.  Started off with an old Shakespear fiberglass recurve and a Bear Kodiak Magnum in my youth in the 60's. I got into compounds in the mid 70's and in fact had the first Jennings Model T in the state of Wisconsin.  After alot of success both in tournements and on game I realized that I wanted more challenge and last December picked up a Big River longbow.  I quickly found that archery has become fun again.

I've learned alot already and really enjoy my practice sessions.  I can hardly wait for the archery elk season - I have only missed one season since 1995.

Welcome to the Tradgang family Pete.

I'm sure you will bring some new, fun, and informative information with you. There's also a wealth of knowledge here. Don't be afraid to ask if it's your desire to learn.

I can't say enough about the great folks found in here. But if you hang around you'll experience it for yourself.

Enjoy the journey with the rest of us!!

God bless,Mudd

After 50 years I'm sure you can share some stuff as well as gain some knowledge. I'm  only a youngster been at for about 40 years...lol, enjoy!!
