In response to what Kip said about having his thread pulled- a similar thig happened to me. A friend in South Africa wants to market his game farm in the US, and would like to know what US hunters expect from a hunt in Africa. I posted a thread to this effect, and had it pulled within 24 hours for being commercial. OK, fair enough. There is a commercial element to that- but I sure wasn't going to make a bean out of it, and there was NO free advertising in my post- no names or numbers given.

What cheeses me off was that a day later another post appeared advertising paid hunting in South Africa, not only did the mods allow it to stay, some actually replied to it.

So, yeah, Tradgang is a great resource, and there are some really great people posting there. But they do have double standards- you'll just have to deal with it.

Anyway Rich, hope we don't lose you. Look at the bright side- trad bows are cheap, and don't many accessories- you'll be able to buy MANY bows now.
