Traditional archery and the changing face of Trad Gang
« on: December 02, 2008, 07:49:00 AM »
Looking over the bows given away over the past 18 months I'd have say the sport is growing in a positive way. I suspect in the next ten years we're going to see a changing face for Trad Gang because of this trend if it holds up. We've given more bows to girls entering the Tradition than we have boys! It's great to see Moms and daughters picking up the stick and string. More ladies participating can only strengthen Trad and do more to ensure Traditional Archery's hunting future! So don't be shy about putting a bow in a young lady's hands, you may just be gaining a lifelong hunting partner and shooting buddy!

So ladies let's see you all post up some pics of your hunting adventures and shooting!

I'm also seeing many more women and girls in my bowhunting classes here in Ct. It's very encouraging. (nut)

Funny you say that my girlfriend asked to shoot a few weeks ago and every weekend I have shot with her...awsoem to do BTW...but this weekend it was pouring rain out and as we were watching a movie she turns and ask "is it ever gonna stop raining?" I was like probably not why?  She came out with "Man I wanna go shoot the recurve!!!"

Boy I couldnt have been any happier LOL...I'll snap some pix next time we are out on the range!

I'm always astonished how many girls are in bass pro and cabelas when I go. Cute young girls too.

Maybe all cute female hunting stars have been more than eye candy the last few years without us knowing it. Sure seems to be more young girls interested i hunting then there used to be.

Tim,

From the serious look on yer lady's face while bearing down...I think pretty soon you'll need to heed Gordy's advice about "when they shoot better'n you, keep yer mouth shut!" She's really focused! That has to equate to good shooting!

Man that is a serious look and intense concentration she's got going there!

I'd hate to see her mad!   :rolleyes:    :D

I recently bought a bow for a very good friend of mine earlier this year. Herb Mealand made a beauty for her. I took her shooting last year when she was in wyoming for Christmas and she has been hooked ever since. She has taken her bow to hawaii even. I will try to post a pic or two tonight.

Keep it up all. What you all do here makes a difference.

for the first time ever, my five year old says to me friday morning...."Dad, can we go hunting today?"   mind you, she's never even shot her bow yet.  I quickly served the string I had twisted up a while ago and slid the 'no-glove's on....and together we fletched up two childrens fiberglass arrows (she swung the rubber mallet while I held the feathers in the chopper and she pressed them down in the jig.


we then don'd our rubber boots and head out behind the house.   it was so much fun!

That's me in High School, third shooter from the left...

 

Archery has long been the traditional sport of women. I think it's about time that this facet of societal activity is straightening itself out! Things are normalizing.   :)  

 

This is clearly too old to be me...it's my mom.
