A Silly Self Indulgence
« on: October 11, 2020, 04:29:36 PM »
Today is my 71st birthday, and I have been trying to think of a fun present for myself. My archery stuff is in good shape, so I couldn't think of anything I really need. Then I remembered I have always liked the old pictures from yesteryear of guys in the classic African safari jacket. Pretty soon, I'll look just like these dudes - think Howard Hill on the African plain. Now if I could just shoot like him...

Happy Birthday, and many more !!!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Happy birthday Sam.  May God bless your day and all your future ones.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Congratulations, Sam.  I just had my 77th last Tuesday.  Seems unreal when I say that!  :biglaugh:
