New Guy...
« on: September 20, 2010, 06:30:00 PM »
I just wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself.  

I'm an enthusiast for ANY kind of shooting - I shot target recurve as a kid, and have pulled triggers on stuff from crossbows to .22LR to 120mm (big boom!) and in between.  But I'm new to trad archery.  As I begin my first forays into hunting, on impulse I picked up a Darton #45 recurve at a garage sale (along with a half dozen arrows and a finger tab).  It's the first bow I've bent in about 15 years.  I forgot how much I enjoyed archery.  Archery compared to other shooting is like a majestic eagle soaring high above a drunk, narcoleptic donkey.  I won't be hunting with my recurve for a while, but shooting it has become my wind-down when I get home from work in the mornings.  

I've been watching this forum for a few weeks.  I'm impressed by the focus, the respect, and the camaraderie that members share.  I expect to learn a lot and will try to offer what I'm able.  Thanks.

Welcome to the tradgang family.

They just don't come any better.(IMHO)

There is a wealth of information to be gained here.

I'm sure that you contribute as well.

Enjoy the journey with the rest of us.

Welcome Rob.
My roommate in college (Purdue 1977) had a TD Darton recurve. Nice bow.  Does yours have metal riser?

By gthe way, you are lucky one of the other 20,000+ tradgangers didn't get that garage sale first!  However, from what I can tell of the fellow on here called "Mudd", if he had bought the bow, he'd have just given it to you.

Welcome to the campfire! Where in Ohio are you? I'm a Buckeye by birth, from Cleveland. I keep wanting to get back there every fall for some hunting, but can't seem to get away from work for it.
