Hi All,

I've been lurking for several months and found enough good stuff with your site to want to participate a bit more.

I have been an archer for .......oh, maybe 50 years.  Started off with an old Shakespear fiberglass recurve and a Bear Kodiak Magnum in my youth in the 60's. I got into compounds in the mid 70's and in fact had the first Jennings Model T in the state of Wisconsin.  After alot of success both in tournements and on game I realized that I wanted more challenge and last December picked up a Big River longbow.  I quickly found that archery has become fun again.

I've learned alot already and really enjoy my practice sessions.  I can hardly wait for the archery elk season - I have only missed one season since 1995.

Welcome to the Tradgang family Pete.
 
I'm sure you will bring some new, fun, and informative information with you. There's also a wealth of knowledge here. Don't be afraid to ask if it's your desire to learn.

I can't say enough about the great folks found in here. But if you hang around you'll experience it for yourself.

Enjoy the journey with the rest of us!!

God bless,Mudd
