Hello Everyone!
I have been looking at this website for about 6 months. I have to say that the people on Trad-Gang are some of the most helpfull and genuine folk's on this planet. You all really got me hooked and I thank you for that. I have learned more about traditional hunting than I ever dreamed could be possible. About 1 month ago I sold my very high tech wheelie bow that has blessed me with many a whitetail, I sold it so I would not have the temptation of ever using it again. After doing extensive research on all the magnifacint Bows and Bowyer's that all of you recommend I came to a desision. I picked up the phone and called Horne's Archery. I was suprised when MR. Mark Horne himself answered the phone. Talk about a person that can put you at ease and make you feel like you have known him your entire life. Long story short I have a new Mountain bow cocobola and bacote on order along with 1 dozen cx heritage arrows. Mark told me about 12 weeks so I only have about 8 weeks left.I am sure that in the future after I receive my bow I will have tons of questions for all of you. I am 48 years old but I feel like a kid again starting out on a wonderfull journey. Once again thank you all for getting me hooked into this new adventure. ( Little Feather I am saving my pennies for a Texas hunt)
Welcome to the Gang. Pull up a chair and enjoy.

Good for you, welcome! Jonesy
Welcome! Remember to post pics of your bow.
Welcome! I was just online admiring those Horne bows. Very nice.
Alright! You're not just dipping in your toe to test the water - you jumped right in! And picked a great bowyer to start with too!

Hi there. Hap
Welcome :wavey: :wavey:
Welcome from someone only 2 years into the affliction!
Now you gotta get to Town Hall archery in Belleville, Il on Sat morn about 9 to 11. A bunch of trad shooters there. Also if the weather is decent I usually play golf on Wed nites at Triple Lakes in Columbia and then go to Mainstreet bar for 1.25 longneck night.
Also if you need something to shoot till it gets here let me know. jkmolongbow@yahoo.com
WELCOME!!! you're amoung friends now :campfire:
Thank you all very much. I am overwhelmed by the welcome I have received. I hope to one day meet all of you in person and share a campfire on a hunt or at a trad shoot. ( John Krause I sent you an e-mail.) Just starting out so I know there is a lot to learn and I am sure a lot of practice on my part. I look forward to the whole experience.

Glad you made it,Ken.I sure don't think you'll be disapointed with your choice of bows,I really like my combo hunter.Mark's work is top shelf,very easy to look at & shoot where you look.What are the specs on your Mountain Bow?
TXRED Thanks for the kind greeting. After reading all the great comments on Horne's Archery and all the great things said about Mark and Sandy Horne, their bows, and their donation of Hope and Faith. Well...I just knew I had to get a Horne's Mountain Bow. Just starting out and listening to the advise from Mark the specs on the bow are 60" about 47 lb at 28" I draw 27" Cocobola riser maple core limbs with bacotte veneers. I am not sure that I know what all that means But, it sure sounds pretty. P.S. The wait is killing me and I only have about 8 weeks left I dont know how some of you guys wait up to 10 months or a year.
Welcome from the Old North State :archer:

well If everyone else is..........I guess I have to also...
Hey man glad youre here! we've been missing you... :thumbsup:
Welcome Cooter Boy!
Don't worry about the late start. I shot a compound for about 6 months 25 years agao, became bored with it and didn't start up again with a recurve until 18 years later at the tender age of 42! Of course I regret having missed all that fun for all those years but actually I am sure I had fun doing something else. I just don't remember what it was as it is mostly all hunting and shooting now for me! :)
