A moment reflecting on my trad day at the range
« on: February 22, 2017, 07:22:00 PM »
Just took a moment to photograph a diligent day on the range. It began with bareshafting. Then, confirming those results on the outdoor range, on spot targets. Then, shooting the (15) 3-D targets, left out during the winter. I love this trad life!

I feel like we, traditional archers, hold the keys to archery nirvana and most of the archery world has no clue!

I remember back in the '80's, when I was trying to become a golfer, how much it cost to belong to a country club.  Because of that, I feel a little guilty when I pay my dues to my archery club, so I always add in a little extra.  Can you imagine ever doing that for country club dues?

You're right, Ron. My trad love has expanded to recurves now. LOL.

McDave, Great idea to give a little extra back to you home range.

i'm assuming that is an ILF set up.  If so, which one?  

I am really wanting some longbow ILF limbs to "complete my collection".

You're correct, sir. This bow is a Gillo G1 (25") riser with a Jager grip. The limbs are Win & Win RCX100. Bow shoots like a dream! Send me a PM if you want pics of the bow.
