When you go to the range after work(yesterday) and see an elderly gentelman shooting a wheel bow and see the spark in his eyes as he admires your trad equipment and he tells you of the "old days" when that's all there was.

When watching movies like Narnia and you notice the red banana helical fletching on the arrows and watch the actors form when shooting.

You know that Archery is an Olympic Sport.

ILF is not some new quick way to text an idea.

You like the smell of wet wool.

You have socks with a permanent black bottom from stalking in the mud.

You spend 45 min making 48 inch long friendship bracelets to give to your friends that they use as strings.

When your shooting at the range with 30 other guys that are using compounds, and you are the only one with Trad stuff. They look at you like you have a third nipple  :eek:  , and at the end of the night they are coming up to you asking questions, and congradulating you on your shooting. You smile not because of the praise you may get, but because of the fire you may have lit!!

when you can honestly say that for all of the time since you switched from compound (over 20 years for me) you have not regretted it or looked back for one minute.

WHen every day after work you wonder which is more important, shooting another 10 rounds of 10 into the recycled plastic container sac against the straw bales, or family responsibilities. Because you know, you just know that this next round of arrows is gonna be when you finally get it, and you KNOW you won't stop until judgement day.

when you can shoot six arrows in the time it takes them to figure out where the 12 ring is.

TRAB TWO
When you've only been hunting 3 years, have yet to harvest your 1st deer, just purchased your 1st longbow, and somehow still feel strongly you can relate to every post on this topic....so much so that you go runnin over to your boss, read her one of the awesome quotes, explain it to her, and walk away shakin your head when she tells you "no I don't think that's unfriggin real?"

TRAB THREE
When your squeezin in one more post on TradGANG, despite the fact that you have a 30 minute commute to work, it is 6:30, you start work at 7:00, have yet to shave, shower, or dress, and aren't even brakin a sweat......

You may be trad;
-If you are making plans to go stump shooting to find the arrows you lost while stump shooting in the snow.
-If you are picking spots on the deer in the front yard while reading this thread.
-If the best gift you give your daughter for her birthday is a giveaway bow from TradGang, thanks Vermonster.
-if you shop for archery supplies in the craft section of Wally World
-If reading this thread has potential for being the funniest thing you do or read all day.

You take your 7 year old daughter to her first "mixed" 3d shoot.  She sees a fancy modern arrow launching device and says "whats that?"

1. Take an "Archer's Bible" to Church.

2. Fantasize shooting an apple off your wife's head.

3. T-shirt says, "will work for 2-blades."

4. Climbing treestand on your clothesline.
