Passing it on TG style
« on: August 20, 2012, 11:08:00 AM »
When I strated this adventure about 5 years ago I knew basically nothing about traditioanl archery.  With the help from the members of TG I have learned so much and whenever possible I try to pass on what was given to me to a fellow member.  Sometimes it is a string to someone in need, a bowfishing trip, arrows or whatever I have that I can spare.

Fortunately, my little bit of know how doesn't cost a thing for me to pass on so when asked I try to deliever.

We have a fairly new member here and he put feelers out asking how to make wooden arrows.  I contacted him and introduced myself.  After some back and forth communication we set up a day for him to drive to my house and I would do what I could to help him make a wooden arrow.  He did just fine and now I have another friend thanks to Trad Gang.

CK14 hard at it.

 

We didn't have time to stain or seal it before he went back home so we went with a bare bones arrow just to show the basics.  Here is the first test fire.

 

Figured he might like to learn how to make a string so we did that as well.

 

What a site and such fine people too.  Just trying to do my part.

An old hand me down recurve sparked the fire, Trad Gang fanned the flames.  There is no stopping now.  Burn baby burn!

I have had  a couple of similar encounters with Trad Gangers, I have thus far been on the receiving end and am very thankful that there are so many people out there who are willing to give so much of their time to someone that they don't even really know.  A special thanks goes out to Vermonster13, Dave got me shooting straight and taught me how to practice in a way that wasn't wasting my time!  Maybe we need to have a Vermont Trad Ganger shoot!
That's why they call it hunting....
