You got that right Rob! 22339 members and counting! Who would have thunk it!?!

I was invited by Terry back in the day when he got the lights turned on. In all that time, it has remained the best site I have had the pleasure of participating in. Thanks for keeping the ship pointed in the right direction guys and Merry Christmas!

Actually, there was a time when Terry and a few others were on the LW site. As that site started to deteriorate Terry started this and if my memory serves me right I got an email from him about this site and I've been here ever since.

about 5 months ago I was browsing through the 3 Rivers Archery catalog and saw a DVD featuring hunts by the members of Tradgang.com, produced by Charlie Lamb. So I went to the computer and punched it in, expecting the usual forum full of BS and arrogance. WOW was I suprised. I have never seen a group that was so respectful, eager to share and help, not to mention some really great stories. This is the model for what all forums should be like.

I don't know, but glad I did.  I'm guessing Gene or Barry told me to take a look.  My time spent here is intermittent, depending on work and other pursuits, but I greatly enjoy the fellowship and advice...and high degree of mutual respect shown here.

Earl E November - told me about it, and have been hooked ever since.  I know I probably spend way too much time here, but always consider it time well spent.

In all honesty, I fail to recall.  :confused:

I can't remember exactly how or when, but when I did it changed everything for me. Loads of great info is only a click away. What a great site this is.

I really can't recall how I got here, but not a day goes by that I'm not checking in to see what people are talking about around here.

Can you say ADDICTION?

Heard about it on another unmentionable site, when people there were complaining about getting kicked off because of bad behavior. That was all I needed to know! Came here, and haven't looked back.

Thanks to Terry and the moderators for making something good and civil.

I liked shooting stick bows and a friend got me into building bows. I saw this site and decided that I better get some good information on what I was doing. If you need any information or help ...this is the place!!! Great bunch of people on this forum with a bunch of knowledge. I don't get on here as much as I use too but then at my age I don't do a lot of things as much as I use too   :bigsmyl:

I was looking for a longbow at the time and was reading everything I could on the 'net about traditional archery. During one of my late night Google quests, I happened across the epic build-along from Osage in which he hand-made all of his hunting equipment for that particular season. I spent the next few hours (and a couple the next day) in complete awe. I was hooked.

The great bow twanged. The black arrow sped straight from the string, straight for the hollow
by the left breast where the foreleg was flung wide. In it smote and vanished, barb, shaft,
and feather, so fierce was its flight.~J.R.R. Tolkien-The Hobbit
