Taking out my 75@28 Howard Hill Half Breed for a shooting session (after letting it sit on my bow rack for several months), and shooting it with solid form, sheesh I even paused at anchor... :archer2:
-
Seeing the buds on the hardwood tree's. that first robin,or the first smell of spring's skunk
in the air. "wintered out" in MI.
-
Sadness is it's raining here and you got me motivated.
Happiness is watching my kids getting ready to go out and shoot, the excitement and proud independence of having their own gear shows as they seem to grow up to little men and women for the moment until the shooting is over than it's back to kids again.

a freezer full of elk and deer made possible by good shots, great longbows, and sharp broadheads :)
-
A quiver full of arrows, and a day spent in the woods with friends and family! Jason

The expression on my childrens faces as they turn at look at me after popping a balloon with an arrow! They're beaming and so am I with pride!

A road to brief solitude!

Returning to traditional shooting after a 10 year lay off.
Learning how to better my shooting from the wise folks here.
Planning future hunting excursions.
And last but not least......the sight of good arrow flight and the feel of a clean release.
-
A full freezer and enough wood split to last the winter. Leaving time to sit in front of the fire and enjoy it with a loved one.
-
...a large gut pile.

Anything outdoors...
-
Twin spotted fawns curled up with each other, being as still as can be, letting you look at them, because they know that you can't see them.
-
Finding Felix that elusive Bear A Riser he's been looking for since Moses descended the Mount!

A mannter of traveling rather than a destination.
I had that quote hanging on my dorm room wall at Purdue in the mid-70's.
-
Enterducing people to archery for the first time.

Heading out to a bowshoot on my H-D with bow and quiver sitting in the sidecar and knowing the looks I get at the shoot will be all envy.

Watching a young fawn wagging its tail like a dog when seeing its mother :)
-
Building an all wood bow that holds together.......nothing better archery wise for me.

...a choice...
...or a journey...
...influenced by luck-of-the-draw in pyschological make-up...
...not possible without having known unhappiness...
...best enjoyed...
...cultivated by kindness, helpfulness, service...
...cultivated through action / activity / endeavour / exercise...
I sure did enjoy Tolstoy's "War and Peace"; I strongly recommend it.

My home made longbow shooting my cedar arrows with perfect flight to the intended target. :thumbsup:

Happiness to me is realizing that God has blessed me with an absolutely, perfect for me life. I am happy that my life is exactly as it is.
God Bless,
Nathan

Coming home from work tonight, stringing up the longbow I recently made, shooting well, putting it down and then sled riding with my kids. Yep, it was a nice evening.

Knowing that I am the son of "The King" and my life is eternal.
That I can by His power do His will with my life and serve others.
God bless,Mudd

Prozac

Sitting in your stand watching an October sunrise and knowing the man who created it personally.
-
having a good bud...a true friend that sticks closer than a brother.
-
I missed the last two seasons due to a catastrophic leg/knee injury, for me happiness will be a return to good health and being able to walk normally.
Watching hunting season come and go and not being able to walk well enough to go hunting is miserable

I'm with Killdeer on this. There's nothing better than sitting in our hot tub with my beautiful wife with a good bottle of wine after a long day.
-
Utopia and Heaven are said to be one in the same. I'm not yet ready for the latter therefore I must make, find, steal the time to find happiness now. It's with my wife, home and traditional archery! In that order, save the queen!
* Where I work is "stress city". I gotta get back into the woods before I bust!
... mike ... :D ...

Jeff, that creek looks like a whole lot more fun than a hot tub! Can you camp there?

How huge that is Pete! I told you! Too bad you aren't closeby Hillbro. Sometimes I'd rather stumpshoot than fish.
Gonna get some ops when my new Tembo gets here! Is that not a kick in the short hairs? Stay tuned folks.
-
kathy yes ya can camp there its a cool place to camp the creek wanders down to the sea through the forest
-
Jeff that's a beautiful place!
Thank you for sharing it. The picture gives me hope of warmer days without snow.
Killdeer, deary, you always find a way to "Do the right thing!" in the right place!
I am puzzling over that fish? The water looks like catfish heaven but the fish sort of reminds me of a trout with what appears to be something of a beak but that rounded tail looks more like a southern fish, the Grinnell.
Thanks to the both of you Kathy, as you and Jeff seem to be of kindred spirits.
God bless,Mudd
