Another New Guy From TX
« on: July 05, 2012, 01:06:00 PM »
Howdy Yall! (couldn't resist)
This is my first post but I've been lurking around for a couple years now I guess.
Names David and I'm in South TX by way of Corpus Christi. I've been shooting traditional, mostly recurves, off and on for about two years now. Mostly at targets around the yard and a few stump shooting sessions walking around the lease. No trad kills as of yet as I'm not confident enough to bring a large target down cleanly and those cotten tails make for SMALL targets.

Let me say that this site has continued to blow my mine every time I log on. The wealth of knowledge and comradery that is exhibited here is second to none.

I first found this site when I started getting into shooting and knife making and building my own forge. Now cruzing the whole site a daily addiction. Wake up, shoot, work, home, kiss the wife, shoot, dinner, shoot, bed, repeat. LIFE IS GOOD

Hope to spend the rest of the summer practicing and the up coming season putting the arrows to work filling the freezer.

Thanks for all the help, hints and tips and I look forward to meeting any members near my local.

Have a great one

Sam

PINS is another one of my favorite places. PM me with details and I would love to meet yall out there. I'll check with my ranger friend about shooting out there, hasn't been a problem in the past. I was out there one morning when an amphibious troop transport from the Marine Corp landed and started doing maneuvers. I think I shot some coffee out my nose when it happened.
