Bob,
The one thing I needed was strings, in the PICs I posted that string was gone, and I used shorted one of the less shot right handed bows.

I also took a look at the hyper link, and noticed a lot of weapons and boots, for you who don't know and did not guess it, that is what is displayed of fallen soldiers. It is done so there comrades can pay respect, a memorial service.
I need to get the Pearson bow check out if it is shoot able I will send it.

Kelly,
Don't worry about the string. I'll check all of them out before I ship them and make new strings for the ones that need em. Yeah, that link will really make you think, and weep............
Thanks again,
Bob

Operation Trad America has been going on.  Guess we'll never be able to send enough.  That's been going for a while now.

Bob I'll get a bow out to you this week. Hope it will help. Greg

Bob,
I have a bow you can have . . You're gonna have to make a string for it though.
It will be in the mail on Sat. AM.

guys, i am in iraq right now and a bow right now would be the next best thing to coming home.  this is a great idea.  to help keep the equipment here, just send a letter explaining what your wishes for the equipment are.  soldiers together are good about respecting gifts from home. those who know how to shoot will love it and i am sure it will spread like wild fire when the stuff arrives.  EXCELLENT JOB guys.  and thanks!

NO DOUGERS, THANK YOU!!! You guys and gals are doing the heavy work. God Bless You and May He Keep You Safe!!

We at New York Bowhunters have sent a bunch of equipment to the Middle East for the soldiers to set up 3 ranges overseas.  I beleive the person in charge was Major Robert Gwinner.

Just wanted to let everyone know I just received the first donation bow in today's mail. Anvil from Wisconson sent a very nice Viper longbow that, I'm sure, the troops will enjoy. Thanks, Curt!!!

Bob,mailed  ya some stuff today.Should be there by tuesday.

"Trad America" was the program for donating equipment to our troops which was sponsored by Trad Gang .  I know there were issues with the individual who initially took the lead, then another Trad Ganger took over, but then it seemed to disappear (a long time ago).  However, the website is still up and it refers to a transition to "Phase 2" on a couple pages.  Does anyone know what the current status of Trad America is?  Is it still running, and if so, is there still a Trad Gang affilition?

Just curious,

Paul

Bob I'll be sending you a box of stuff on Monday. found some arrows a bow stringer a couple tabs. If you need help with strings let me know.

Hawken,
Terry or Rob can probably answer better than I can, but to my knowledge, there is no affilition to tradgang. Sorry, but I do not know whether they are still operating or not.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Bob,

Your efforts just reminded me of that program and I wondered what became of it.  It's great that you've stepped up to continue that cause here on Trad Gang.  Keep up the good work.

Paul

Got two more packages in the mail this am. One was from Greyfox54 and was a "Library" of video tapes. They should really be enjoyed by the troops! The other was from Tradesmen4 and is a nice 3 piece takedown recurve made by Rodney Reed!

THANKS, Fred and Greg!!
