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.

You got that right Rob! 22339 members and counting! Who would have thunk it!?!

I was invited by Terry back in the day when he got the lights turned on. In all that time, it has remained the best site I have had the pleasure of participating in. Thanks for keeping the ship pointed in the right direction guys and Merry Christmas!

I don't remember but I'm glad I did!

Actually, there was a time when Terry and a few others were on the LW site. As that site started to deteriorate Terry started this and if my memory serves me right I got an email from him about this site and I've been here ever since.

My brother (of the bow) "LoweBow" recommended it for me.

about 5 months ago I was browsing through the 3 Rivers Archery catalog and saw a DVD featuring hunts by the members of Tradgang.com, produced by Charlie Lamb. So I went to the computer and punched it in, expecting the usual forum full of BS and arrogance. WOW was I suprised. I have never seen a group that was so respectful, eager to share and help, not to mention some really great stories. This is the model for what all forums should be like.

I don't know, but glad I did. I'm guessing Gene or Barry told me to take a look. My time spent here is intermittent, depending on work and other pursuits, but I greatly enjoy the fellowship and advice...and high degree of mutual respect shown here.

LW rumor.

Earl E November - told me about it, and have been hooked ever since. I know I probably spend way too much time here, but always consider it time well spent.

In all honesty, I fail to recall. :confused:

marshall brown · December 25, 2009, 07:16:00 PM

I can't remember exactly how or when, but when I did it changed everything for me. Loads of great info is only a click away. What a great site this is.

When I joined Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia, I heard some of the guys talk about it so I tried it. Glad I did.

Irish Archer · December 25, 2009, 11:06:00 PM

I really can't recall how I got here, but not a day goes by that I'm not checking in to see what people are talking about around here.

Can you say ADDICTION?

JMartin · December 26, 2009, 12:52:00 AM

A friend told me about it.

glenbo · December 26, 2009, 08:20:00 AM

I had checked it out a time or two but never really got involved,as I was always on the other site.I started talking to Guru at work after seeing a sticker on his truck.Until then I didnt know what I was missing.Thanks,glen

Don Stokes · December 26, 2009, 08:47:00 AM

Heard about it on another unmentionable site, when people there were complaining about getting kicked off because of bad behavior. That was all I needed to know! Came here, and haven't looked back.

Thanks to Terry and the moderators for making something good and civil.

I liked shooting stick bows and a friend got me into building bows. I saw this site and decided that I better get some good information on what I was doing. If you need any information or help ...this is the place!!! Great bunch of people on this forum with a bunch of knowledge. I don't get on here as much as I use too but then at my age I don't do a lot of things as much as I use too

I was looking for a longbow at the time and was reading everything I could on the 'net about traditional archery. During one of my late night Google quests, I happened across the epic build-along from Osage in which he hand-made all of his hunting equipment for that particular season. I spent the next few hours (and a couple the next day) in complete awe. I was hooked.

Talking to Shawn Leonard at the Muzzy, he told me I had to Join to come to the bunny hunt.oohyeah
