It's been awhile!
« on: November 18, 2021, 07:12:23 PM »
Aloha Trad Gang!   :shaka:

It's been awhile since I've been on here and recently decided to come back to hang out.

I took a break from traditional bowhunting, but slowly getting back to it.

I apologize for not have any info for the "Hawaiian Connection", as mentioned I haven't been in the hills with a stickbow much.

No more "hunting promotions", tuning info, etc..., just back to the campfire talk with the Gang.  :campfire:

I'm currently shooting a Hoyt Satori since it was something that was in stock, but recently ordered a 52" Shrew Classic Hunter II.

My wife and I just moved to Kauai, so this first year will just be a bunch of scouting trips.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

Ryan

Here's an image from my first scouting trip. I ended up stalking a billy that morning, but the cliffs were too crazy and felt that I wasn't going to be able to make a recovery (even if I made a good shot).

Hi Ryan, happy to hear from you again.  I've always enjoyed your posts, and have used your tied-on nock ever since you made the video on how to tie it.

Welcome back! I have been shooting trad for about 2-3 years and you were one of the first people I watched on Youtube etc....I was just thinking this week whatever happened to you. Glad to hear you are still around. I understand how life is and how busy we can get so I hope you enjoy getting back into things. Best regards!

 Glad to see you are back Ryan.  I often referred to your tutorial on tying nock sets, and very much enjoyed your hunting posts.
