« on: December 18, 2014, 12:32:00 PM »
Hello Gang!

Blaine here from NW Illinois.  I'm 28 years young and work as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician for a corporate flight department that makes green tractors with a deer on the front  :thumbsup:  

I grew up hunting with a gun for rabbit, pheasant, quail, and the infamous whitetail.  It was not until high-school when I decided to try archery.  My father purchased me a compound bow for christmas and I was hooked with the first shot.  Since then, I have purchased a Jim Taylor longbow from a friend of mine.  With that being said, the old compound bow has not been out of the case for 4+ years!  I really enjoy shooting traditional archery.  A couple years ago I joined an archery club in SW Iowa.  I learned quite a bit from the trad guys there.  Shoot a few 3D outings and spend most of my time just enjoying nature and shooting targets.  I have yet to harvest an animal with my longbow, but have high hopes for 2015  :thumbsup:  

Anyway, I've been looking for a good forum, other than AT.com to get honest, respectful, and quality reviews and tip/hints.  Did not take long to see why tradgang is special!

Hope to learn a lot and someday become a contributor to the forum!

Take Care!

Welcome!
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Also, if anyone has information about the bow in the photos - please let me know.  My friend knew nothing about it.  Brace Height, wood, etc.  Thank You in advance.

Welcome, hope you enjoy your time with us.
Funny how the guys with the green tractor have divested themselves.

I've been here since the beginning. You won't find a nicer, friendlier, more generous and knowledgeable bunch of traditional bowhunters anywhere... and you can take that to the bank.

Welcome to the campfire.

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.
