Hello and a question for all of you.

#1 Post by Bowferd »

I've been a member for a few months and yet haven't formally introduced myself or congradulated many of the other old or new members.
My introduction will be kept short.
61 years old and started shooting traditional at an early age. First bow was home grown kids survival bow made by Dad and the arrows were whittled from whatever was available.
Rec'd my first purchased bow before the age of 6 and can't even remember it.
Dad wasn't a hunter or an archer and the interest wained until a friend lent me an old Pearson longbow around 61 when I was 12.
I never hunted with a bow thru my teen years but did do some serious carp bowfishing into my early twenties.
I left bows behind and didn't pick them up again for twenty years.
The last twenty years has left an indelible mark on my character. I've been hooked ever since.
So to all of you newcomers and old timers that have stayed the course, I say Hello and wecome.

Now the question.
My job has a relaxed dress code with the exception that shrts must have a collar.
I've pretty much always been a t-shirt / sweatshirt type guy.
Do any of you know where I might be able to pick up short sleeve sport or polos shirts that would relate to promotion of trasitional archery?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In my situation polos would be realy nice. A dress shirt with a pocket emblem and a big old sign on the back stating " If you ain't Trad" and an emblem would be appropriate.
Danny from the Brass Buckle and I could start a new company. We both started at the same time, discussed it, and he outdid me.
But I got a new brainer.

What size are you?
My archery club offers polos, but they may have an image of a compound on them.
I would be glad to send one to you.

You could probably buy some plain shirts and use transfers. Nowadays you can print just about anything on to a transfer paper and iron it on a shirt. Check that out.

In Traditional Bowhunter magazine. They offer a really awesome denim shirt it as a collar button up one problem long sleeve. But really cool, on the right side it as a out line of a flint arrow head with a mountain goat inside of it. And across the top of the logo it says
Traditional Bowhunter under lined by an arrow. The left side as a pocket and embordaried(not sure if that's spelled right) on it are arrows that make it look like the pocket is full of them.

George and 2Bucks, thanks for the input. Back in the early 70's, an older friend, who was my new employer, and I took a flight in a 4 passenger Cessna to Jacksonhole looking to purchase a silkscreen company.
The merger didn't pan out but I'll never forget the trip or the ride.
We ran into winds that tossed us around like an unbalanced paper plate.
I'm 61 now, and George you just awakened an old idea. Thank You.
Fred
