I recently took a job as a vocational instructor in a medium security prison. Does that count?

Deadsmple · June 17, 2010, 08:56:00 PM

and what exactly does this have to do with traditional archery??

lpcjon2 · June 17, 2010, 09:02:00 PM

It's about how no matter what field you you are in Traditional archery brings us together.And it's good to know people in that field who you can shoot with at a police convention.JMHO

South Carolina Highway Patrol for 16 years... I have 9 left to go, not that anyone's counting!

Vaughn I guess the person that started it was just trying to see if there other people in his profession on this site intrested in Traditional archery. Maybe we can ask Terry if we could have a TGBB thread like TGMM. We can call it Tradgang Brothers in Blue (TGBB). Then it could remain private and not offend you. It seems like there are many on this site.

The word "enforcement" has always given me that oogey feeling. I truly think that word all by itself has destroyed not only the public's view of cops in general, but the overall mentality of cops in general--particularly the young ones. Just sayin.

So, how many here are crane operators? How about framers? Any lawyers? Dentists?

There are also lots of other professions here. If someone had started a thread with any of the professions I listed above, it would have been deleted immediately and a reprimand issued to the evil person who started it. Whats the difference really?

Realizing I responded to the thread, deadsmple made me realize the mistake. Many times I have seen threads moved or deleted because they weren't directly related to traditional bowhunting.

Yes Newark, NJ is an interesting city to work for.

Stay alert, Stay alive!!

My heart goes out to the N.J. State Troopers family.

Maybe its just the relationship between certain professions and traditional archery. Doubt seriously that there would be 8 pages of responses from dentists. Also shows the character of the people that are attracted to the sport. Just my opiion.

I guess I would wonder why somebody would care what the thread has to do with trad archery. Its a thread that clearly has some interest to the members.

Izzy · June 18, 2010, 06:47:00 AM

Im one of them "OOGEY" guys, 13 years worth og "OOGINESS".Mostly cause I love my family, my community and country and every 8 hours of work makes them all a little safer or at least as safe when I started the shift.

greenhed · June 18, 2010, 08:13:00 AM

I started this thread out of curiosity, and to build some relations ships with people who deal with the same things I do. I apologize to dead simple, feel free to delete this thread if its not allowed.

greenhed · June 18, 2010, 08:16:00 AM

Oh and by the way...I kan spel jst fine..it's teh tipin thets bad... :_)

todd secker · June 18, 2010, 09:28:00 AM

I been around a while. I like the idea of maybe a different forum we can share stories among each other. Maybe even meet up at Compton sometime. Take care. Be safe

deaddoc4444 · June 18, 2010, 11:19:00 AM

IPcjon2 YUp it is a bit on the weary side We probalby know a lot of the same people STay Safe!!!!!!!!! Dan

PrarrieDog · June 18, 2010, 12:02:00 PM

A connection I made when I read the title and saw the responses.
As I Deputy Sheriff I went to work knowing I might have to use deadly force.
The knowledge and ability to do so has a corelation to hunting. The tools are different but the mind set is similar. That might be why there are so many of us here.

Greenhed, no apologies necessary. I was just pointing out the fact that this is a trad archery forum and a persons chosen profession has no real bearing. The common thread here is the fact that we all enjoy traditional archery in one way or another, all our other differences are irrelevant in my opinion.
