I would not fit in with that group shot at all.

Not because of the suspenders though.

Im a lefty and would throw the symmetry off way big.

Tony Ward I do not know what your issue is but I would appreciate if you would keep your very offending comments to yourself. Mudd thanks for the comment on the photo.

I agree, Tony's remark was out of bounds toward very remarkable and devout people.

I was at Lancaster Archery yesterday and an Amish guy bought two compounds while I was there. Clearly, they like their archery.

The amish are just like us, they live with self-imposed limits and just like trad shooters don't need/want people poking fun at them.  Why get of the topic???

I saw one of the fellas at comptons and then saw the same guy at denton, that's dedication.

Folks as soon as  I can get hold of a moderator I will have this post deleted. I have personally known this group of guys for the last 10 years. They are stand up traditional bowhunters and believe I have seen them shoot and they can shoot with the best. I thought it was a unique photo catching all of them at full draw. tom
