"THE LOVE OF ARCHERY".... by Ron LaClair
What is there about a traditional bow that captivates us so
It's only a simple stick and string, it's only a simple bow
Is it the feel of the bow in your hand when you draw it to your face
using your strength to bend the limbs sending the arrows on their race
Is it the sight of a feathered shaft as it flys straight to it's mark
Or maybe the soft low hum of the bow that is music to your heart
The excitement of seeing a white tail buck when you're looking down the shaft
and the thrill you feel as you kneel by him and know he is yours at last.
Then there's the Archers of long ago who's voice comes in the still of the day
creating feelings that fill your heart, when you hear what they have to say
I believe that it is all of this, it's clear for all to see
It's the love we have for archery... the way it was meant to be.
