This is a Mecca for traditional archery.Now I know I may be biased but some of the greatest trad archers in the world live in the Mohawk and Hudson River valleys.Ken Thornhill,Keith Deters,Al Pennick , Gary Ragnear the list goes on and on.Also a very mysterious and incredibly talented archer known as Ray Melendez comes to hunt and stump around here even though he doesnt live here.For $20.00 you too can join their pestigious ranks in the Mohawk Hudson Traditional Archers.Check the link in Trad Events and welcome to the area.  :thumbsup:

Izzy,

Sounds interesting. Could you point me to the link? I'm having trouble finding reference to Mohawk Hudson Traditional Archers.

Check the trad events thread. Keith lists the gatherings there, and I believe he has included a link to their homepage.

Timothy,

Well Ron is practically in your back yard.  I live in Scotia, Your more than welcome to come out anytime. There are a few Trad archers along the I90 Corridor.  

Tolgate archery shoot is coming this weekend you can find a lot of people there which is real close to you.

MHTA is a great cheap club.  very informal and a lot of top notch people.

The Herkimer region is awesome. I used to drive that way every other day.  

I also think you should check out the JLMBH, also MHTA has a shoot coming Feb 21.  You couldn't have picked a better area to shoot trad in.

Hope to see you at a shoot, good luck,
Charlie
