Your favourite threads

[LBR]

Strings of course....unfortunately a favorite or two managed to "disapear"...

[Hud]

Hunting stories, Scouting Photos, Restoration Projects, New bow stories/photos, knives, broadheads and sharpening, anything and everything traditional.

[TheFatboy]

I loved the 'Memorable quotes' thread. Too bad it was locked. There were some great quotes in there.

[trad_bowhunter1965]

I like them all.

[Mudd]

I doubt many will remember this thread as it pre-dates Trad-gang if I remember correctly.

Terry can correct me if I'm wrong historically but I believe that there was at one time a site that no longer exists called "The ***********". I believe there was a split that occurred and this wonderful place is an off birth from that.

Anyway there was an absolutely side splitting thread named "Bow Test on a Dead Cow!"

If anyone is interest you can e-mail me as I have a copy of the thread in a PDF file.

God bless,Mudd

As I recall it, your facts are real close if not right on, Mudd. (Not sure LW is gone though - I haven't checked it since coming to TG shortly after it started but I still hear/see mentions of it.)

Too funny Ray, just another complainer looks like....you know, its amazes me that folks that don't like this site sure spend a whole lot of time here.  I don't even know why they bother.  They also never have any hunting stories.....wonder if they even hunt, or know how to, or are afraid of the dark.....

I am aware of "LW II" and I believe it's the other side on the split. I will go there on occasion as a few other sites but this is "home" for me. I'm one of those so insecure I need a little protecting...lol Not!!!!! I think that the folks that run this site have the "right formula" and following "it" any young person's parents anywhere can have complete peace of mind when their loved ones come here and hang out.

It ain't church but it's family and we are treated as such. Sometimes that means "tough love" and that's "way cool" as far as I'm concerned.

Dang it! I got side tracked but to get back on.. there are a bunch of threads on here that are worth reading more than once.

IMHO

Terry nailed that one on the head.      

I know several trad guys that bad mouth Trad Gang and ask why I even bother with it. My guess is that they got booted by the mods and are bitter.

 My favorite threads always seem to be the ones that involve discussion of the differing options on trad equipment, shooting form, etc...  When these topics that are held in a positive and informative manner they give me the big picture.  Those posts let me see all the opinions and then find my own path to determine what works best for me.  Those posts and some great input from Terry and Rob have really helped me improve my shooting and find what shoots best for me.   I now shoot 3D, Target, and take hunting shots with confidence that I will hit what I am aiming at.

[Stone Knife]

Anything that RC puts out about pigs  

[robtattoo]

Anything by Charlie.
I also have the 'Old Duffers' & the 'Super Duper Hog Info' threads saved to my favorites.

[Matt D.]

My favorites are the hunting threads from the guys in Australia.

I frequent Primitive Archer, *********** and TG. I've only been on Trad Gang for about a month and it's interesting that each site has somewhat of its own personality.  I like something about all of them but one thing is consistent on all of them - the questions with no right answer. At one time I thought about creating a document so I could cut and paste the best answers I found to questions like:
What is the best bow to buy?
What is the best glove to wear?
Is 40# enough for deer?
What is the best arrow for the money?
I used to frequent several running forums and they are the same.
What is the best shoe to buy? etc.
I'm not busting the sites for this. It's a great place for beginners to quickly get great advise, but for those who have been on the sites for a long time it's interesting to see that in the end most people like the personal threads most of all. Threads that tell about hunts and adventures and especially those with pictures. I think most of us like developing friendships with people who share our common passion for traditional archery. In the end life is about people and relationships. That's what I like about these forums - friendly hunters who share their adventures.

I like the first kill threads.Especially kids and women.I'm still trying for my first trad kill also.

[Killdeer]

Thank you, coaster500, for pointing us to those threads. I almost passed them by, as there was no descriptive title, just a bare link to a TG thread. But I clicked on two of them, and found wonderful stories that I had somehow missed. Great pictures, great storytelling, fascinating places!

I am not happy that I was up until nearly midnight reading them! Sleep deprivation is becoming a way of life for me, dagnabbit!

I, too, enjoy the pics & stories, but the ones I really like are:

the kids ones (Cade & Guru, Little D's pound cake) seeing the little ones getting into it gives me hope for bowhunting & archery's future
Gene & Barry
and yours Felix

That being said, I haven't run a across a thread that hasn't been worth reading

[vermonster13]

Kid threads, hunts all over the country and world(especially for game I can't hunt near me), the supportive threads and the ones were folks handle challenging subjects where opinions vary greatly but remain respectful.
