My oldest bow
« on: April 05, 2011, 08:52:00 PM »
My dad bought me my 1st trad bow in I think 1990,a Howatt hunter,62in 45@ 28.I haven"t shot it in years.I bought a widow in 1995,and have used it since.Anyway I put a new string on it yesterday and rediscovered it.I fell asleep last night dreaming of hunting with it,best sleep I"ve had in a long time.Shot a racoon and woke up late for work.It was worth it .Burt

You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.
