Well, I have been known to shoot instinctive with fingers. And no string walking either!  |

I took up traditional archery 2 + yrs ago at the urging of my 2 brothers. Fun stuff it is!
I've never had a hobby and this one fits the bill! May even hunt this fall.

Its on my bucket list to kill another buck with either my old Fred Bear Grizzly or my Ben Pearson Pinto. I started shooting both of them again last year. We shall see. Attachment Deleted |

Nice shooting! Take that sucker hunting.
I can wait! Ordered some new brodheads and a new string for my longbow. My string blew up on me Saturday afternoon while shooting. Scared the bejesus out of me!

I shoot a custom longbow that fits me just right. 38# at 28" is just right for my decrepit ol bones. We shoot with a group that is ah...... lets say elderly. :-)Other than some of the kids that come around, my younger brother is youngest at 63 years old. These guys are all the remnants of the old Powder Monkeys from the 80's and 90's. What a crew!
Ol Bill Kerner , bowyer for over 60 years stops by on a regular basis and spouts his wisdom :-)
Glad to see so many guys with the interest!

Scared the bejesus out of me! Thanks Bushy, but let's be honest. That was the first four arrow flight. I always consider the first arrow out of the bow to be the one that matters. It's what happens in the field. I'll post pictures from the next first flight. They might not look as good. I have not shot the last couple days, it has been very hot and muggy here. Maybe later this evening after my Son's 52nd birthday outing with the family. |

Just put a new string on my longbow. Old one blew up on me over the weekend. Can't wait for this upcoming season!
