Another new guy

COOTER BOY · May 03, 2007, 01:04:00 PM

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)

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!
Welcome to the gang!

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.

John Krause · May 03, 2007, 06:19:00 PM

Also if you need something to shoot till it gets here let me know. jkmolongbow@yahoo.com

COOTER BOY · May 03, 2007, 09:19:00 PM

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.
