Hey Tony-

Whatever you were going for with that six fingered comment didn't work.  It was neither funny nor witty.  There are other forums that may welcome your type of humor.

tukudu, thanks for the cool pic.  I worked with 2 brothers who grew up Amish but left that lifestyle.  I learned a lot about the Amish from them over the years and gained an appreciation and respect for them and how they live within their means, serve the Lord, and are self reliant as far as fending for themselves with their growing of crops and hunting and fishing for their food.  Most americans would be well served to apply some of that to their lives.

TonyW, your remarks and youtube link is pretty immature, not funny or witty in the least.  Grow up.

I saw those guys a bunch of times and a group of teen boys from the community shot a round behind us. They were good kids and shot well.

When I  was growing-up my best friends were Amish. My Dad worked in a Dairy in Cleveland and got one of the milk drivers to introduce him to someone for a place to hunt. So we ended-up becoming best of friends with one of the finest family's, among the best people a man could be honored to know in Middlefield, Ohio.  Started out hunting, then we were out there 3-4 times a week and most weekends. We were all but family. I even spent a week or so each summer living with them until I started working. My Dad retired from the Dairy and moved out there and makes a living driving them around. They are serious, dedicated hunters, and travel all over the country hunting. My brother's father-in-law grew-up Amish, but did not join the church.

Thanks for the support guys. I actually asked them if i could take the photo and laid down on the ground trying to get them all of them at full draw. The colored shirts the angle and all them nice roberston bows was real sweet through the eyes of the camera. thanks again. tom

It's a great archery photo. Amish don't neccessarily object to pics of themselves. My friends liked photos of themselves we took, and would often ask for a copy, which they kept in private, never displayed. We were on very close terms with them of course. It shows great consideration to ask them first of course, and they'll seldom answer in the negative.

Great picture. thanks for putting it up. Our country might be in better shape now days if everyone had some kind of values to live by and be held acountable for. Don

These guys came by our Brothers of the Bow Booth many times. Each time buying a hat, flashlight or book. When they would come back, they would figure out who had which books and you needed to anty-up so that the whole group would have access to all of our reading. Very dedicated group and even the youngsters would come to ask questions of myself, Gene or Barry. Needless to say a strong family and tradition of bowhunting was on display. Mike

I live in an highly populated Amish area and are among the nicest people to have as neighbors. Thanks for sharing the photo!!!

If you think they can shoot go do yourself a favor and get youself a Hill Country bow built by Roman Hershberger who's also Amish. The three piece longbow I got is absolutely flawless and performs with the best at a very modest price.

Looks like they've found a way to expand their already traditional way of life.  Seems quite logical to me.

Very nice pic Tom, I enjoyed it. Would sure love to visit the Amish country someday....

I'm glad I missed the garbage posts in this thread. I have alot of respect for folks who can still live a down-to-earth way of life in a world gone crazy. My best friend, Roman, is Amish and one of the nicest fellas you'll ever meet.

That pic is an instant classic. Thanks for posting it.

We use to hunt alot in Pike county Ohio.And got to know several of the family's that lived on the ridge we hunted.Great and very generous people.Alway's happy to see us and to tell us where the deer were moveing.And a few times helped us with getting deer out of some very tough terrain.If you ever get a to spend a little time with these folks take it.And there's nothing more refreshing on a hot day than Amish mint water good stuff.,Jim
