Title: Special Thanks to Arne and McDave
Post by: Terry Green on May 29, 2017, 08:00:00 AM
I want to say thanks to you both for your contributions here on the shooters Forum at Tradgang

I love sharing hunting and shooting tips.

I love hearing people improve.... I love seeing people improve... I love helping people improve.

Sometimes I'm not able to respond as much as I would like to. I would be over here as much as the powwow if the world was perfect but it's not so I'd like to thank you two personally for your efforts and helping others to become better shooters over the many years here at Tradgang.

Thank you Terry, very kind.

I really enjoy trying to help folks shoot better, maybe even more than shooting for myself anymore.

Wish I could just wave a magic wand on some of the subjects...

Thanks again.

Arne

Thanks Terry!  If I could take off a few years and a few pounds, you'd see me more over on PowWow.  But, to paraphrase an old saying, "Those who can't hunt, teach    :) ". I love traditional archery, and not the least of my reasons is that we can find something to occupy ourselves with at any age.  I learn as much as I teach, and hope to be a presence here on the shooter's form forum for many years to come.

Thanks to those who can "teach". I can neither shoot or teach. Ha.

This is very well-deserved recognition for 2 of our most helpful members. On more than one occasion, both of these fine gentlemen have helped me in some very tangible way, to become a better archer. I only hope that some day, someone will be able to say that I was as helpful to them as either of these men have been helpful to so many people. And, of course, that you both know how grateful we are for your generosity & expertise. Thank you.

I totally agree with Terry. I have picked up a lot of good advice from both McDave and Arne. You guys are immensely valuable to this web site and traditional archery overall. Thanks!

Even though I've been shooting for 45 years, I have learned more in the past few years from these guys and Jimmy blackmon than anywhere else

I'd like to share my thanks as well.  Both Arne and McDave have helped me tremendously. These folks are generous with their knowledge and it is greatly appreciated.

Good thread, I took a two decade break and decided to pick up a bow this year. McDave was one of the first to help me out, also gave me a link to one of Arnes videos. Nice guys, only problem is after watching Arne shoot I had to admit how bad my form was LOL, thanks Arne. But I knew I would have to start over from scratch so its kinda like being a kid again. I'm not good with names but there are a ton of other guys on here who have helped as well by me reading lots of older post, So Thanks guys.

Couldn't agree more.  Both men give unselfishly of their time and expertise to help all those interested in improving.      :clapper:      :clapper:

I have benefited from the contributions of those two gentlemen as well. I would add Mr. Green to that list also.

My son and I had the pleasure of visiting with Mr. Moe back in March. It took only 3 arrows for him to diagnose what I needed. Unbelievable resource and outstanding human. He gives his time in person, too, not just on the interweb!

I echo the thanks. This site and its members have certainly been a valuable resource for those of us that have embraced traditional bow hunting. It can be easy to get frustrated and fall away from this sport but the guidance and encouragement of folks like  Arne, Dave, and Terry is what the traditional bow hunting community is all about. Keep it up.

Right on Terry! The main reason I read the Shooters Forum is to learn from Arne and McDave. I've been shooting traditional for 55 years but I find that I never stop learning if I keep my mind open and receptive to new ideas. Arne and McDave's contributions are much appreciated.

I would also like to say "Thanks!" to Arne, McDave, Terry Green, and other's I've likely forgotten. I don't post very often, and actually, a lot of the help I've gotten from here came before I joined, when I was a "Lurker".

I still have a lot to learn, and need a lot of correction and practice. But I feel I have to express how grateful I am for the help of you folks. Thank you very much.
