My elk hunting buddies from Iowa are to blame.  I am originally from Missouri, which is a poke/accusation that I am some kind of hillbilly.  I do not like to sleep on the ground, cold camp or eat granola bars all week on an elk hunt.  I have always been the man responsible to get a luxury elk camp hauled in deep into the mountains like a Sherpa .

Growing up I was called Jake or Jdog by my Dad, stuck ever since with most all that know me.

I was given the nickname Maddog in college and I’m an optometrist, so it got the 20/20!

Because to me, shooting the bow is so much fun.

My first forum, years ago, was a turkey hunting message board.
Like 8upbowhunter, I was “Ate up” with it.
I used it on other forums, but some required more than three characters, so I’ve added my initials, ss.

Had lurked in the background for quite some time. I had always been leery of and still am of participating in social media. The integrity of the website and the quality of its members slowly drew me in to committing. Feeling most secure, I wished to dive in and become a fully participating member of the Trad Gang family. The name I chose was intended to reflect openness, approachability and an unvarnished desire to enjoy the gifts of the traditional world, to learn and to share and to build concrete friendships and share much valued camaraderie.

I honestly would've just used my actual name, Jim Hamilton, but I assumed everyone had to have a "handle" when I signed up.

I chose Supernaut because it is the title of my all time favorite Black Sabbath song and when I listen to it, it really puts me in a good, relaxed mood. Shooting my bow does the same thing for me.

I got sick of people talking snack on forums hidden  behind an anonymous screen name.  Just thought I'd put my name out there so when you meet me you know who to punch should you want.

My dad has the same first name as me, so my family often calls me Bart, which is short for my middle name--Bartolome. I was hesitant at putting my real name down, but wanted something I could remember.

I used to have the athletes over at my house a lot. My son’s team mates. We had a weight machine in the living room. Guns and bows in every corner. I fed them a lot of venison and breakfast that’s for sure. But worth every minute. We were watching Goodfellas one night and they awarded everyone a wise guy mafia name. I was on the chain gang at the home football games. So I became Jimmy the Chain. I’m Chain still to a lot of parents of those boys. Chain was unavailable so I added the 2 rather than also.
