I have not meet many folks here on TradGang that are younger than me.  But the one i have actually meet and hunted with is by far the most accomplished and well spoken young man i have ever meet.  I am sure he will be a leader in this sport for many years to come.

With out a doubt, for me it would certainly be Andy Ivy. What a life to live at that young age to be able to go all over and Bowhunt. I really envy him in a very good way. And pulling a very close second would be Curt Cabrera. I don't know how old Curt is, but he looks like he could be in his late thirties or early forties. I am 57.

Have to say, that darn Andy Ivy has been on more adventures in his young lifetime, than I'll ever see. Love seeing his pictures and reading his posts. He is truely "living the dream". Get a kick out of his sister too. Looks like a very close knit family.

although there's plenty of younger folks here than me and many who are worthy candidates, I would have to say Skyler---Don's done well by this young man and Skyler has proven many times that he's got the right stuff

Bowspirit. The guy has all but taught himself to shoot and hunt. Never even thought about wheels...yet his harvests keep increasing.
Cade is another. And impressive young man for sure.
I haven't met Skyler yet, but from reading on here, he is another one that comes to mind.
Impressive.

I had the pleasure of meeting and hunting in the same camp this year with Skyler and I would have to say I was impressed ... my vote is Skyler for a total Trad package kinda kid.

Good job Don     :thumbsup:

I don't personally know anyone at least 10 years younger than me that I would consider my trad hero, so based on what iI have read and seen on Trad Gang, Skyler would be my man.

Todd Steadman from Reno.  He juggles his business and family.  Then he finds times to help anyone who needs it.  He is a stalwart at the local shop and there when needed.  He is a farrier who drives miles to get to rural ranches, stands in the open weather under huge horses.  At his age, most folks would not be be to get out of bed. He beat me last tourney bt 50 points. He is a true traditional archer and friend

Great thread Terry.  Though I 'm a few months shy of 30 so technically excluded from the thread  ;) , we've just had our first and he's about 1 month old.  I have always enjoyed seeing pics and stories of you guys and gals with your kids.  I hope my little guy enjoys archery and being in the outdoors as much as I do because I'd love to be able to share it in the same way many of you do with your kids.
