September 1974 Citrus Bow Hunters Jamboree. I'm on the right. Three months later I was in the Army and all my hair gone!

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Life is like a wet sponge, you gotta squeeze it until you get every drop it has to offer

Me in 1953. No bow in the picture but it's an "Old" pic.

This one was from the late 70's, early 80's. I was sneaking along and met this guy coming down the trail toward me. I shot him with my Don Adams English Yew bow 75#@ 28". You can see from the angle of the arrow that it was a frontal shot. We had more than one meal out of him. :archer2:

Elizabeth Curtis, where have you been?  I remember when you first came around, and I've wondered what became of you since you seemed to really enjoy archery.

Murray

I am still around, I might not post, but I read!  :)  I have been sooo busy with work, I am thankful to have a job though.  So glad this stupid covid junk is going away.  I don't have time to get on the computer much, I have to grab time to get on here when I can.  Fighting hard to get time to shoot and hunt, got a blob target finally last year and shoot in my back yard.  I am determined to go hunt this year if I have to just go by myself!  lol

I had a chat with Liz yesterday :bigsmyl:

I've been here a LONG time.... Folks seem to come and go, for various reasons.
But, the real thing is.... "TradGang" is a FAMILY!!! Sooner or later, they all come "home" to the campfire.

:archer: :archer: :archer: :campfire: :archer: :archer: :archer:

I didn't go away, :)
I sneak on here from time to time.  :)
I still enjoy archery a lot, work takes up too much time, I am fighting though to get back out there. I still go to shoots, haven't gotten to hunt in a couple of years though. Going to this year, come hell or high water!
We are family, woodchucker!  Missed chattin with yall!
