Since You Have Joined Tradgang?

[Schafer]

I joined tradgang in 2008. I joined when i was 13 and im turning 17 in a couple of days. I have grown 8 inches. My draw length has gone from around 26in to around 29in.

I went from having my one and only hunting bow in my Black Widow PSR, which is 54@30. to now having 3 bows. The one im shooting now is my Schafer which is 66@29. Also i have gotten alot better at making arrows.

I also can now set up a stand on my own. Well most of the time.

I have only shot one deer still, but have successfully missed a deer since(twice).

2008- THEN

   

2011- NOW

   

So what has changed since you have joined Tradgang?

I lost alot more hair...LOL

[Doc Nock]

I got old!

Still don't know enough to fill a thimble.

[Bladepeek]

The more things I learned, the more I have to learn. I know just enough now to want to spend some serious money on shooting and totally confuse myself. I'm having a ball, though!

[Shawn Leonard]

I have had brain surgery and feel a lot better than in 03' when I joined. Made many friends on here and have owned over a 100 custom bows since than! Shawn

Almost died by stabbing myself with a broadhead..

Got older... nothing new there...

Have enjoyed seeing you younger folks find trad archery and keep us older folks on our toes...

Good luck this season.....

I've had back surgery and dropped poundage on my bows. Glad your hear and having fun.

I learned pretty quick that I was over bowed.  My everyday shooter is 45 pounds now. Do you play football or lift weights?  I pull 50 pounds at my 28 inch draw with my huntin' rig!  I feel like a wuss now after reading your post.  Keep it up kid, your doin' good.

Its very good to see a young man looking from where he came as it will give you a sense of where you are going.

Since joining TradGang so much has happened that it feels like a different life. I have become a Grandfather several times over and can't wait to share the outdoor world and traditional life with those little ones.

[The Vanilla Gorilla]

Since 2006...

Traveled out of state to hunt.

Increased in poundage.

Bowled a 280.

More tattoos.

More dead hogs and deer.

More bows.

Got extremely better looking.

Was asked to leave MENSA because I was too much of a genius.

Went from 3 under to split.

[Mike Bolin]

Cam....you really expect me (us) to believe that? You really switched to split finger? Wow, I guess some folks can change! Mike

[Mike Bolin]

Since joining tradgang in '03, I have owned too many bows to keep track of. Suffered nerve damage in my neck and shoulder that forced me to drop in bow     weight, killed some critters and most importantly became a grandfather to Andrew. A lot of folks here on the 'gang did some praying for Andrew.....both before and after his birth. Unless my dsl is down, I at least check in here at least for a minute or two most every day! Mike

[Mudd]

I don't remember..lol

God bless,Mudd

[Frank V]

Joined in '04

gone back to shooting Bear bows.
Moved to a state I really like.
continue to learn Deer & Elk are very wary.

I found out through connections, out of state hunts are not as out there as I once thought.

Made new friends

now have a healthy addiction.

[ron w]

Have gotten older and I hope wiser.......some will argue with that.     I also shoot more and spend more time in the woods not only hunting but stumping. I love to stump shoot!

[broketooth]

since i have been with trad gang ive learned alot. the more i learn the more i want to learn. i have gained quality friends who are of worth. all have stuck there neck out for me in some way or another.ive built a bow . participated in the tg bow swap.learned to make my own arrows and strings. ive had long distance conversations about archery and bow building with fellas ive never even met. this place means the world to me. i only hope that some day i can give back more than i have received by being a member here . i cherish my time here and i hope that i will still be able to participate and contribute to trad archery. hunting season is upon us and i hope to fill some tags to be able to share with all. thanks to all for continuing to allow me to be a small part of it all. rv

[Andy Cooper]

Since I joined Trad Gang my bow numbers now nearly equal the number of rifles in my gunsafe...and my rifles are sad that they haven't been used!

[buckeye_hunter]

Met more new and good people than I otherwise would have thought existed. Also got my first big game bow kill....
