I have been shooting trad for at least 33 years now. I realized that today while my wife and I celebrate 34 years of marriage. She is one lucky girl! d;^)

Too late if she doesn't Don! d;^)
Kris, I'll be 62 in July. Ole Roy can't be that old and still be so spunky can he?
psychmonky, 30 years ago I had a full head of hair. Heck, my beard was 13 years old when you were born.

Congrats on the anniversary Pat. I used to think 62 years old was ancient but the older I get the younger it seems.

Congrats on both anniversaries Pat.  October will be 39 for me and my wife, only been shooting trad for about 15 yrs. though.  Those bells, whistles, and wheels sucked me in for a while till I came to my senses....Dan

My first trad bow was a Shakespear, 45# recurve. I missed my first deer with it...3 times in less than a minute. He was a nice 8pt.
Dan, I did spend some time in techno world but realized it wasn't for me even though I killed more deer with wheels. I've sure had way more fun with trad and especially primitive.
 Still am, Pearlie, until July!

Congrats Pat.  Maybe one day my beard can be as nice as yours!  Thirty three years of passing it on.  How many of us have you inspired?  Pretty cool boss!  :thumbsup:    :notworthy:

Back a few years ago when I stole her heart.

And a couple years ago as we aged together on our 17th anniversary, fishing:)

And I even got her Bow Hunting a few times:)

And, is the wife a shooter too?

My wife has been one for about 6 years now. It took me awhile to get her hooked on archery but now I've created a monster. Although she doesn't shoot trad (yet!) she is still my best hunting and shooting partner. We will celebrate our 29th in May.
