Whisper of Fred Bear

[Petrichor]

Another long day...... It has been approximately 8 months since my re-entrance into trad archery.... And still no matter how tired I am from the day, no matter how much I just want to sit down, I hear it.  I go to my gear room and lock up my duty belt and hang up my uniform.  As I stand there, I hear a whisper.... the whisper of my bows singing to me.  Still 8 months later after having bought the bow I had dreamed about since boyhood, and another that I had to have, I pick them up in awe.   I admire the craftsmanship, I follow the grain in the risers, I dream of the woods.  I hope this feeling never fades, and I hope my desire to live vicariously through an arrow just released never diminishes.
Today and everyday Fred whispers to me. I hope I never grow to busy, or get caught up in the noise that is the daily grind to hear him.              

Shoot straight and often friends.

I've been shooting traditional for 25 years now.  It still hasn't gotten old.  Enjoy!

Been shooting trad now for 7 years. I will never turn back. I just converted a compound shooter to a trad shooter this weekend.

Well put Dave. I've been at this over 25 years. I never get tired of it!

What's bad is when you hear it while the wife's talking and she knows you didn't hear a frazzlin thing she's said!

This one has gotten me more recently as I'm waiting for a new bow to arrive!
