Hate to hear you are going under the knife. God Speed on your recovery!

I'd shoot with you but can't afford the gas money!

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Joseph, Thankyou and Jamie, we can hook up as soon as I am better. I can travel as well, but would prefer to do it around home, unless there is a shoot within a couple hour drive of Ravena NY. Shawn

Post by: Stone Knife on July 04, 2007, 07:03:00 AM
Shawn,
It's almost a 5 hour drive for me, and it's my weekend on for the water plant at work, so i have to be back sun AM. If your going to a shoot with Curt a little closer Joe and i would love to hookup for your last weekend. If not you never know what i might pull once i get something in my head. Let us know what your doing for sure. If i don't end up seeing you, my whole family wishes you a fast recovery and 100% success with your surgery. I saw you in action and felt that you are in great shape so I'm sure you will bounce back quickly. Keep me in the loop.
              Jim and Joe

Thanks everyone, Curt I am up for anything. I would love to bow fish and also shoot some 3-D. Do ya have a spot for bowfishing? I think the 3-D on sunday is doable as well. I will call ya tonight after the fireworks. Killie, I am always a bit off as well, would love to meet ya sometime. The drive would be a bit long for me, but not too bad. Maybe ya can make my Bunny Hunt this year!! Shawn

Good luck Shawn...hope all works out. Just take care and don't rush it. When you do start shooting again, no more than 30#!!! Trust me, I have 2 friends who went through that surgery and it REALLY TAKES TIME.

Title: Re: My last weekend!!
Post by: Mark Fedrizzi on July 06, 2007, 07:16:00 AM
Shawn--- best of luck with your surgery--I will be there Sunday but will probably have to "hunt" you guys down--bringing my boys--they are getting to the "sleep in" stage...

which way are you coming down??? if you are meeting Curt---then I would take the thruway to I-84--if not then you may want too take rt 209 from kingston---

All the very best!  . . 'Cause you are!!

Larry & Greg
Title: Re: My last weekend!!
Post by: Shawn Leonard on July 06, 2007, 04:29:00 PM
I think we may meet in Kingston, I have to call Curt tonight and se what is up!! Should be a blast. Sounds like we may bowfish early Sunday and than go to the shoot. We will see after *pm. tonight. I wish all you guys could hook up and shoot, the bunny hunt is just not often enough!! I am getting a tattoo after my surgery. I figure it will take my mind off the pain for a while. It will be the design on the Bunny Hunt T-shirts Ed has made up, and will have those same words as a tribute to my Mom!! Thanks everyone!! Shawn
Title: Re: My last weekend!!
Post by: woodchucker on July 06, 2007, 04:41:00 PM
Shawn, I think the tattoo Idea is AWESOME Bud!!!!!

I had told Ed at the Bunny Hunt That I had seen that design in the Traditional Bowhunter magazine and thought about getting a tattoo of it

I think it would be a very fitting tribute to your wonderful Mom and a VERY COOL looking tattoo!!!!!

Best wishes to you My Friend!!!!! You know where to find us if you need anything!!!!!   :campfire:

Hey There Shawn! Looks like I'm gonna make the trip up from NYC just to be with you guys on Sunday. Bet it's going to be a blast! Maybe I'll wear my "pink and fuzzy" bunny hunt hat.   :rolleyes:   Well, not if it's 90 degrees out there.  

See All You Fellas On Sunday!

Title: Re: My last weekend!!
Post by: Shawn Leonard on July 06, 2007, 10:39:00 PM
Thats cool, I am sure someone will have a longbow. I am shooting a new Vortex 47#s at 28"s and 58"s long. I am shooting it pretty good, but not as good as my Arroyo. Can we shoot multiple rounds? I ask because I am making the most of this cause I will not pick up a bow after next Friday for a minimum of 4 weeks and that will be a 20#er. Shawn

Hey There bjk! I think I'll bring my Jim Johnson "Legend" longbow also. It's 62", 52# @ 27", and for sale for that matter! A nice compact little thing. Gotta sell it to off set the cost of my Griffin.  :rolleyes:  Well...Maybe.

We like to separate the men from the boys straight away in our neck of the woods...besides, there was none over 45yds  ;)  

great pics Ed...always a pleasure to shoot with this group...Curt should be along with some pics, as well, I hope.

Good times Fellas...real good time    :thumbsup:

Great fun today guys, as usual!!!  Couldn't think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning than with this crew slinging some shafts.  I like the challenge of the top gun stakes, really let's you know how you're doing.  Besides, with the muzzy coming up, stretching out a little isn't a bad thing.
