I grew up around more archery than many people see in a lifetime... but since I've joined TG I've learned an awful lot.  This site takes YEARS off the learning curve, because we learn from each other's experiences and mistakes.

I am more relaxed.  Since for the last 5 to 7 years I have been at the range about every day.

TG has introduced me to some great ideas, people and possibilities. That combined with joining a local club, and the PBS, has been huge
in helping my son and I develop skills, enjoy some great hunts and some wonderful trips with many more to come! It is really about the people and what others are achieving-it has broadened our horizons.

..the longer I bowhunt (40 plus years)the more it seems I know ! Things in the deer woods change so much..so do we ! But it is refreshing too me (well , most changes) Less bow bending and more just looking. Enjoy it all!

Fell out of love with black powder hunting, duck hunting and AR platform rifles. I still have my guns but they arent near as rewarding to bag game with than my sticks.Met alot of friends and spent a ton of money.

I joined in March of 2006. Since that time, I've physically gained 15 pounds and I've gone from a very heavy arrow setup to a light arrow setup for both of my recurves.

......I've met more people that shoot stickbows than I ever knew in the old days (pre-compound days when it was just plain old archery!).

Well, I learned the older I get, the less I really know. But I know one thing for sure, life is short, so take advanage of every minute of it.

One other thing I know for sure, I love my longbows.

I've lost some hair,gained some weight and realized how much I didn't know about shooting a stickbow.I've aquired some great bows and my guns have spent a lot more time in the gun safe.
 All in all it's been an enjoyable learning experience.  :knothead:    :archer:

I'm new. Started the Trad in Feb. when I found a fine Bear Kodiak Hunter in a pawn shop. I fooled around with recurves in the 80's, but never learned them like I am now.

Since Feb., I also just took delivery on a Timberhawk Strike XT and also bought a brand new Dream Catcher from somebody here on the Trad Gang sell board. I love both. Been shooting & learned non-stop since Feb. Sold one of 2 compounds. I just can't stop shooting. Is there a cure ?  Maybe a shootaholic's class ?
