September 1974 Citrus Bow Hunters Jamboree. I'm on the right. Three months later I was in the Army and all my hair gone!

This one was from the late 70's, early 80's. I was sneaking along and met this guy coming down the trail toward me. I shot him with my Don Adams English Yew bow 75#@ 28". You can see from the angle of the arrow that it was a frontal shot. We had more than one meal out of him. :archer2:

Thank you Chuck, she loved hunting with her bow.  I  had 57 wonderful years with her.

Elizabeth Curtis, where have you been?  I remember when you first came around, and I've wondered what became of you since you seemed to really enjoy archery.

Murray

I am still around, I might not post, but I read!  :)  I have been sooo busy with work, I am thankful to have a job though.  So glad this stupid covid junk is going away.  I don't have time to get on the computer much, I have to grab time to get on here when I can.  Fighting hard to get time to shoot and hunt, got a blob target finally last year and shoot in my back yard.  I am determined to go hunt this year if I have to just go by myself!  lol

I had a chat with Liz yesterday :bigsmyl:

I've been here a LONG time.... Folks seem to come and go, for various reasons.
But, the real thing is.... "TradGang" is a FAMILY!!! Sooner or later, they all come "home" to the campfire.

 :archer: :archer: :archer: :campfire: :archer: :archer: :archer:

I didn't go away, :)
I sneak on here from time to time.  :)
I still enjoy archery a lot, work takes up too much time, I am fighting though to get back out there. I still go to shoots, haven't gotten to hunt in a couple of years though. Going to this year, come hell or high water!
We are family, woodchucker!  Missed chattin with yall!
