When you've spent most of the summer rebuilding a muzzle loader that a friend was going to throw away. You finally get to take it to the woods for the first time. The sun comes up, you look down and wish it was your longbow.
When you feel remorse for the animal you have just taken, then say a prayer thanking God for the bountiful harvest.
When you hear other hunters brag about killing more than the legal limit and feel sorry for them.
When you shoot arrows at the 60yd target just to see the arrow fly.

sometimes after the shot it feels like an anti-climax

When you talk to John Dill sooooo long on the phone so many nights about shooting, that your wife say's she feels like the wife on Broke Back MT. By the way I never saw the movie. must be a western. DB

When you answer a new guys question on the powwow thats already been asked a million times.(respect)Thanks guys

When you have a 25"draw and are happy with it.

When it doesn't take three hands to get a arrow out of a target.

When your ok with telling your buddys you shot your wifes bow.

good one ozy!

if you don't need one of those multi-hundred dollar "bow presses" to string your bow.

when you show up at a 3-D shoot with a 70" yew stick and every one says "what the heck is that"?

Like I said the other day.. You find yourself sitting in front of the tv dressed in camo watching Dan and Denny shooting stuff.

I was shooting next to a guy with a high tech bow the other day. He accidentally shot an arrow into the wood base of the target. It was BURIED in that wood. When he tried to pull it out, it broke, and I thought he was going to cry. Then he told me how much each arrow costs, then I almost cried.

Who is Dan and Denny? I love watching trad stuff on TV. I only watch Mr. Barta miss and act silly and Fred Eichler hit and act silly. If there is an alternative, I would like to know.

Nothing against those two, but I want to watch anything on tv that has anything to do with trad.

The wind in your face, a chaw in your cheek and a walk in the woods with a bent stick in your hand is more important than work...

When you meet someone on the Internet,go hunting and shooting with them and your wife just shakes her head and says "did you have a good time"!! And then then she says "you met him on Trad Gang?" Its now happened more than once!!!!

ron w · « **Reply #33 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:48:00 PM »

Oh yea, I forgot about the LONG TUBES that come in the mail or by UPS and the wife says "One more or did you trade this time"..

ishiwannabe · « **Reply #34 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:54:00 PM »

if your wife rolls here eyes everytime you log on to trad gang.... :rolleyes:

You shoot a wooden arrow.

You don't know how far the shot was until after you did it and paced it off out of curiosity.

Widowbender · « **Reply #36 on:** March 20, 2009, 10:24:00 PM »

You use your bow as a walking stick...

You cut up your wife's pocketbook to make handle wraps...

...If how you did it matters more than IF

...your bow has your name written on it, by some other guy
...your bow has someone else name on it
...you believe in the law of the harvest

dogge, I loved this one"...You don't know how far the shot was until after you did it and paced it off out of curiosity."

When you out shoot the wheelie guys at a certification shoot and you have walked away to the target and one of them turns to your wife and asks, "how does he do that, there's no sights or anything on the bow?"

TNstickn · « **Reply #39 on:** March 20, 2009, 11:25:00 PM »

search for shoots/hunts along your family vacation travel routes.

talk your wife into joining you in the self bow challenge at the TN Classic, even though she doesnt shoot at all.(I'm trying to get her hooked! LOL)
