Instinctive Shooters

It was a lucky shot... pure luck.  It was in Union Grove, NC in June 1988 at the National Bowhunter Jamboree.  I don't know if they still host it but back then it was a huge event.

The shot was more luck than skill... trust me.  HAHA

That was once in a lifetime experiences you will take to the grave.  A great story and I wish I had been there to see it.

Hey Frank ... do you remember an Eric Dickinson. I worked with him and he spoke of you many times. By the way .. it was always good

I have been shooting Barebow over 45 years. I shoot Target competitions where the distances are up to 100 yrds. Would not shoot any other style. As a shooter rep for White Wolf Bows they help me reach those distances, I plan to shoot the upcoming shoot in Vegas and will shoot the barebow class as a senior.

hello.  I had not hunted in 16 years roughly until one of my customers got me into traditional archery.  Now I'm addict.  I shot for a year before i actually hunted.  call it beginner's luck or call it hardwork; but i managed to harvest 4 whitetail last year.  2 bucks 2 does.  my first harvest was 6 point at 48 yds.  i missed him 3 days prior at 12 yds.  You can save you comments; i have already been scolded for taking such a long shot.  But in my defense; he only ran 20 yds.  those were taken with a recurve.  I made my first longbow harvest this year....doe.

Welcome Frank. Thanks for the offer.

Frank, thanks for offering your expertise.  I've never had much interest in aerial or long-range shooting but find 'hunting shot' shooting to be fascinating and enjoyable (no sights, basic shelf/sideplate, normal hunting-weight wood or aluminum arrows).  Would be very interested in hearing about the approach and style you use, and any tips that might add consistency regarding your sight picture and the basic gear you use.
