Full-time bowyers - who?
« on: July 12, 2012, 09:05:00 AM »
I'm just curious - who are some of the full-time bowyers here on TradGang, either sponsors or regular posters/members?

Hey Tom!
On the Powwow page, see the drop-down box for TG Sponsors?
See the one underneath it for Bowyers and Bow Emporiums?
(Should that be Emporia?   :dunno: )  

Miss seeing you at ATAR.

I wish I could say that I was full time, but I guess I would have to put in less hours to be full time.

Hey, girlie!
Are all the bowyers there full-time?
Was there an ATAR this year?  I thought it had been done away with.
I've been wrapped up in my competitive Service Rifle shooting and haven't pulled a bowstring in almost two years.  I miss it...and miss my TradGang buds, too.

I'm actually surprised at the number of full-time bowyers listed so far..I didn't realize there were so many!  My hat's off to those that make a living out of it.
