It is well worth it. If you view TG more like a magazine subscription it makes sense. YES, you can read the forum posts and articles for free as a regular member...but you can literally entertain yourself for hours and hours reading incredible stories and helpful info here 24/7 365, in principle that is worth something. If you view it that way then the classifieds just become a bonus. And yes there are some incredible deals on bows from many of the top makers. TG easily has the best variety of trad hunting bows on the web and if you post a wanted to buy ad you will actually get replies here. I have received and have given some incredible deals as a buyer and seller, but make no mistake, all I have learned about hunting and history has been well worth the donation and is why I did it. For the contributors this is like a tree they want to grow and never have go away. That's speaking for myself. There is also a cameraderie and honor system here that you can't get buying on fleabay. For example, through trust and reputation some sellers have even been known to allow a high end expensive bow to be paid off over the course of several payments! Or with some sellers who I have created friendships with over the years we have offered to send each other bows to try without even talk of a sale, just a test drive and stuff like that. That kind of stuff has no price.
