I have literally bought a ton of stuff from this site!  All of my gear, as well as, all of my kids stuff was purchased from either the classifieds, associate sponsors or sponsors.  Several bows, arrows, broadheads, packs, clothing...well, you get the idea!  Point is, I've never had a bad experience...EVER!  A few weeks ago, I bought a sweet little Mosshorn from one of the mods and when I asked a question about stability, the guys says, "I'll just send it to you for a week to try, let me know what you think"  Needless to say, that bow is my current turkey bow!!  Sorry for being so long winded, but I don't believe enough can be said about the honesty and integrity that makes this site stand head and shoulders above anything else...I'm proud to be among its members...

I had the same experience. A fellow archer sent me a longbow from Kentucky. He said shoot it and if you like it send me the money. I was blown away. I will never forget that. I will always treat others the way I would like to be treated...it is great to be apart of a community that feels the same way.

Sponsors too! I buy a lot from Lost Nation in Michigan. He sent me an email saying that I "qualified for a frequent buyers program" and took $28 off my new purchase. I didn't even know he had one! Particularly when I first started, I had guys I barely new give or make me quivers, arrows, lend me a better bow and gave me a number of pointers!

When I was in business the folks from the gang were the BEST. A total pleasure to deal with. Not one spec of a problem.

Every deal I ever did on the classifieds was smooth as silk. This is a site you can trust with confidence.

I don't think enough positive stuff can be said about this fine family of people. I have had nothing but good experiences on this site. It is extremely refreshing to find this many fine folks working for the good of each other and not for personal gain. The knowledge that is available on this site is endless and the best part is everyone is eager and willing to share it. This my friends is what this great country was founded on. This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. In GOD we trust !

.........."ONLY ON TRADGANG"!!!

Dave2old said my piece. I cringe a little at these posts, because I know that out there is someone who would gladly take advantage of us, as there are those who will take advantage of our elders, who operate under older rules of decency and honor.

But I am proud to be among the members here who "Ride, shoot straight, and speak the truth", as it settles an unsettled spirit, makes me realize that there are yet those who remember old ways and honor them, that there are those who yet value pure and honest dealings with fellow humans.

I believe that trad archery attracts the good, those who will take the extra effort, walk the extra mile in order to savor more fully the accomplishments that they may reap. But, as there have been thefts at trad gatherings, we need to be a bit more wise, and keep closer tabs on what is going on, though it is a pain in the aspidistra. At one point, in the early surge backward into the age of simple bows and simple dealings, I told my friends that trad shoots, forums and dealings have the feeling of Woodstock, but without all those drugs.

Well, Woodstock is over, the thieves have seen the pickings at some events, and it would pay to keep an eye open and a nostril tuned to the wind. Remain a deer, but not a pet-farm deer.

I'm glad I decided to get back into the sport. (And that I discovered this site!)

It's only been about 25 years since I last fired my Bear Polar and I'm looking forward to teaching my son.

Thanks for making even us newbies feel welcome.
