Do you see TradGang evolving in the future to utilize other elements of technology?

What unique and lasting changes have taken place within the traditional bowhunting moveement, as a result of the TradGang forum and community?

What decisions are you facing as you work to accommodate, moderate, and manage the ever-increasing number of TradGang members?

I guess it would depend on whether your article is about Terry or Tradgang.

My question relates more to the latter... I have always been curious about the first 25-50 or so original members.

Who are they?  How many are still active?  Who were the other originators?  Where did they come from?

This site is a conversation  and somehow the conversation spark turned into a fire.  That takes peeps right from the onset.  It would be fun to know about it some more.  

Thanks for asking.

If a train leaves detroit at 10 pm(est)headed west toward chicago at 70 miles per hour and a train left chicago (250 miles away on the track) at 9 pm (cst) headed east on the same track going 50 miles per hour, where would they collide (in terms of miles away from detroit)?  

Been trying to figure this out for a while now  

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

Ask him about the salad hat.

If there is one thing you could change about Tradgang by your single decision, what would it be?

Who are your top five traditional bowhunter heros?

If you could spend one week with one other traditional bowhunter (alive or deceased), who would it be?

I seen a few videos of him shooting and he is a "freak" it was hard to imagine anyone that good. How did he start? Who was his mentor on form? What was the hardest thing for him to work on with his shooting. What is the biggest problem he sees in the average shooter?
Thank you for asking us..

[Terry Green]

Didn't know you were going to start a thread.....

I'm not much for being in the spotlight......                  

I'd rather be back stage ...    

[StickandStringMag]

I wanted to get member feedback....You got something special here!

Modesty is an honorable trait my friend.

[Adam S. Daugherty]

The trains collided 145.833 miles west of Detroit roughly 2.0833 hours after departure.

Joint Velocity of trains 50 mph + 70 mph = 120 mph
250 miles/120 mph = 2.0833 hours
70 mph * 2.0833 hours = 145.833  miles
250 miles - 145.833 miles = 104.167 miles
104.167 miles / 50 mph = 2.0833 hours (just a back check)

Its all right to be humble Terry but if the question was asked I didn't want you to get stuck on it.

JohnnyWayne,
We know that Rate*Time=Distance.
We know that west bound distance + east bound distance = 250 miles.
We, also, know that they traveled for the same amount of time because Chicago is on Central time and Detroit is on Eastern time.
So, if Rw is rate westbound and Re is rate eastbound, then (Rw*T)+(Re*T)=250.
Which is the same as T(Rw+Re)=250.
Filling in rates is T(90+50)=250 or 140T=250.
Isolate the T by dividing both sides by 140 gives T=1.79 hours.
Rw*1.79 = 160.71 miles West of Detroit.
Which is conveniently close to Three Rivers Archery Supply!

Sorry, school has started and I had to practice so that I would be ready when the kids start asking.    

What I am wondering is, did Terry make that Ghilli hat? If so, how did he make it? I thought he had green and tan dreadlocks for a long time until I saw a picture of him without it on!

[bkyrdshooter]

All these numbers mixed with slight of hand I thought this thread went to figuring out spine on an arrow or something.


 Keep up the good work ADMIN!!!

[canoeman]

I think some exposure to the St. Jude's auction and how that has evolved would be great.

[SKITCH]

How many takes it took for him to put those 3 arrows in that target across the pond???
From 3 different positions.
     

THat was Terry wasn't it?

[subsonic]

Cool.  Looking forward to reading this.  

It amazes me to see how the site has grown over the years.
