you know your a traditional bowhunter if..........

[BTH]

When friends want to set up a "sure thing" hunt but all you want to do is get out with your bow and take your chances on fair chase, woodsmanship, and bowhunting skills.

[TSP]

You know you're a traditional bowhunter.....

....if your arrows aren't plastic;
....if your nocks don't blink;
....if your sights aren't seen;
....if the challenge trumps your ego;
....if getting close is required not optional;
....if success = time spent hunting;
....if killing makes meat not money;
....if tradition actually MATTERS;

[jcar315]

Your wife keeps "reminding" you about getting all the bows and all the arrows out of the living room...OOPS back to "cleaning up!"

[JWD in VA.]

When your right boot has a hole in the top of it

[Ia Hawkeye]

Well said TSP !!!!

[Ia Hawkeye]

When "how" I do it is more important then "if" I do it !!!!!!!!!!

[Mo. Huntin]

When you complain about wheelie bows constantly.

[jrchambers]

haha jwd,  that usualy equales more bs and less shooting.

[Recurve50 LBS]

When you make the 100 mile trip to Cabelas and ask for cedar arrow shafts and the guy says, "Man no one shoots those things any more! Let me show you the latest carbons with 2 inch vanes with shrink wraps."

[monterey]

Recurve50,

Samo with modifications;

When you drive to the airport, meet your buddy, prep his bonanza, wait forever for takeoff clearance, fly 250 miles to Cabelas, spend 30 minutes shopping for trad style equipment and can't spend more than $12.43 cause there is nothing in the store that you want or need, then fly home.  All day trip!

When you pick a  spot on everything you see from the "o" in stop signs to the neighbors cat while your talking to the neighbor and all he can say is "Why are you looking at my cat that way?" I know Im sick but I rarely put my imaginary "Air Bow"  down for more than a few minutes.Im betting I look might odd to a lot of folks out there.And No,,, I dont need or want help!!!!  

[Wannabe1]

When the smell of a cedar arrow excites you more than your wifes new expensive perfume!  

[SourOwl]

when a doe walks up to within five feet of you, but you pass her up, even tho she's legal to shoot.  sourowl

[Langhorn]

When, "I promise, baby, this is the last arrow" takes about 45 minutes to an hour!

[guspup]

You go into Bass Pro, and the stuff that interests you is not on the shelves.... but the old stuff that's not for sale, that's hanging on the walls and ceilings as decorations.

[jrchambers]

if you ever see cool stuff that is not about trad and you cant help but post it here.

[1Longbow]

When your bow has a spirit to it,and does'nt look like it was made a NASA. When you tell your friends that its not how far you can shoot ,but how close I can get. --1Longbow

[NorthernCaliforniaHunter]

When TradGang is bookmarked at your home and office computer(And you spend entirely too much time on it!)

[Bear Heart]

Juan, I would add to that: Tradgang is set as my home page so it's the first thing I see.
