Jason Christianson trad handle (plentycoupe) is over there right now. Send him a PM. Whichever FOB he is at, they have an elaborate range set up so take your bow and >>>---ammunition--->. Keep your head down and be safe. Godspeed!  :pray:

Bones,

Send me a PM.

I can tell you about Falcon and getting archery equipment into country.

Overall not a bad FOB but it has gotten crowded.

Bones,

Ive been in Iraq for 7 months now. I'm on my third location about to move to my fourth in two days. I have been able to set up a range at all of my locations, and I have a TON of equipment to do so. I'm starting to look for another traditional shooter that will take the reigns on the equipment. I also have a great SOP that has helped me along the way. My chain of command has been very supportive as well. We will be moving to Basrah but I will be stationed at a patrol base along the boarder. Try to get in contact with me via email at [email protected]

I have received overwhelming support form the people on this site as well as others. If It wasn't for the wonderful trad community this wouldn't have been possible. I would love to keep the torch going, so If we cross paths somehow, I would love to hand it over. If not, I will redeploy with the equipment, and do my best to mail it back into country to the next deploying traditionalist.

Thank you for serving our country.

 I hope you can hook up with zmonster or another hero over there- and get to toss some sticks around.

 May the fleas of a thousand camels- infest the armpits of your enemies.
