Title: Recent Full Draw Pics
Post by: ber643 on August 26, 2010, 05:22:00 AM
Last night I posted Full Draw pics I've been promising to do (in various threads) all this past week. Just befor retiring, I added 9 (count 'em, nine) Full Draws, to my Traditional Bows Drawn section, of my personal (non-commercial) web site, on Page 21 (I'll soon be moving to page 22). That means there are, on those 21 pages 1,250 Full Draw pics of some of your favorite friends and bows from the traditional archery world. Check it out - start with page 21 or from page 1 but plan to spend some time browsing through the thumbnails (60 per page) and (linked) full size pics. Nothing is any more beautiful or facinating than a Traditional Bow and archer at Full Draw - IMO.

You can use the little house (home pages link to my Index Page) at the top of my posts and go to the opening page and sub-index of those pages, or start here and browse/jump around at your leisure. Y'ALL COME, Y"HEAR?:

Hi Bernie,
super and fascinating photos!
Had to copy the one with the little boy in the big cowboy boots.
Would like to send you a full draw photo of my daughter Maria. Sorry i'm not electronically skilled enough to upload it here onto the website.
Keep on shooting (hopefully not only photos),

Bernd

Thank you Rudy and Bernd. The little boy in the boots father said that his hero is the cowboy from Toy Story and he wears the boots everywhere even though they are too large - LOL. By all means, any Full Draw Pics (and whatever facts you wish or do not wish to accompany them) are welcome. They can be e-mailed to me - I can resize them smaller (but larger tends to grain your pics so I seldom attempt to enlarge), or PM them here at trad gang. Or even snail mail if you need to - just ask for my home address by e-mail or PM.

Gotta go now and put up a couple of my own FDs from this past week that I forgot all about -     :knothead:      :goldtooth:

awesome!  I agree.  Its incredible to see all the variation in style!  Those three finger guys always make me afraid that they're going to break the bow.  looks so odd to me.  Keep it up guys, that was fun to see.

heres a couple of mine...

Having computer troubles from a new security program  so my contact may be scketchy for a few days til I get it resolved.  :rolleyes:    :bigsmyl:   drive me crazy!

Thanks so much to all of you, both, for the kind comments and the pics. When I get my computer issues cleared up (hopefully today or tomorrow) I will post these latest FDs.

Pon, you will have the "honor" of starting off Page 22 w/ your greetings from Mexico.

Kenneth, some folks are just a little slower than others - LOL. I'll still be glad to get it.

John, that means a lot that you would find time to view it in this busy period of time for you  - what with all the new Slim Jim quiver orders at Kanti and all - I seriously mean that.

Spectre, I remember them too and thanks for the pic.

Joe Skip - it's good to "see" you - LOL - nice Camo "field" pics.

All in all a nice input of interesting shots - they will help add desireable variety to the Traditional Bows Drawn pages of my site. I hope, helping to make the pages a joyful source of reference for many years after we are all too far gone to make it to Full Draw - LOL. Thank you all so much, bless your hearts.

Bernie I'd like to say "Thank you!" for building something that will become a historical record.

I bet that it will be shared by many right up to the day that "He" returns... and "He" will return.

Prayerfully
God bless,Mudd

HA!  you can change my name to "Dan"...8-)  seems a bit more personal.

#5 is 'Hunter'

Great pages you got here.

LOL - OK I'll do that (some folks don't care for their real names to be used so I am a little careful if I'm not at least "cyber familiar" with them). I do like to use both handle and name as often as possible, so thank you. I'll add those at my very next posting (or before).    :thumbsup:

Neat handle, GK, I'll add that in on his pic at next posting.

That reminds me - just for info as to why i don't post all the time. I relegated an older computer of mine (that started being troublesome) to only storing, writing, and posting my web site - so that is why I kind of "lump" postings together at times - LOL. I have a splitter system between the two "puters" (some days I can't even remember what that means -    ;)    :D )

Good Stuff Bernie...did you get the one of my daughter?
Title: Re: Recent Full Draw Pics
Post by: ber643 on August 31, 2010, 08:29:00 PM
Thanks, Terry. I'm not sure, - though I think I did - can you post it here again just in case (I'll remember when i see it - LOL)? I'm almost positive I did get one or two out of that shoot you and she were doing in the GA woods (should be on about page 20 or 21 I think, if so). I'll check here in a minute or so.

Yep, Terry, if it is the one I'm thinking of (of Sarah) it is on Page 20, Row Nine - shooting up at squirrels - great pic.

:)  - good - but you can send more anytime -    :D   (So can anyone else, BTW)

Wannabe1 is posted now and "Squirrelbane" has his name entered w/ his pic. Thanks again, guys.

Still haven't got my puter squared away (techies are studying the problem    :eek: ) but I'm using a different browser (Firefox) and that seems to help, plus "they" assure me my rig is still protected. Main thing (besides that) is I am able to post again without problems - so i can keep pestering everybody at will    :D

Thanks to Shawn and Gill for the comments, and also for the two more FDs. Will probably post today. (Did Stumshooter's "Double" yesterday evening. Getting a real good response to this thread Shawn and it puts these folks FDs in both places (for posterity - LOL). Thanks again to all posting, sending, and just looking. Keeps me feeling like I am doing a thing of value - and that's important to an ol' hoss.
