Beards and bows. Who has the whiskers?
« on: October 28, 2021, 09:23:13 AM »
There are the playoff beards in hockey, Gandalf in The Hobbit, the Abbe' Faria in Count of Monte Cristo,  Tom Hanks in Castaway.

Got a bow beard? Must have a trad bow in the picture! Mustachios do not count.
(Extra credit if there is also a harvest)

The last time I put a razor to my face was June, 1969, the day I graduated from highschool. My beard has been at least as long as in this pic since. I'm a bit more rigid in this pic than my normal shooting style because I'm showing a full draw pic of the selfbow I'm holding.
 When I shot a compound, way back when, I had to wear a bandana to keep my beard out or the string. If not it would look like an extra string silencer on the string.  :scared: Since I started shooting trad it has never been a problem. I don't even think about my beard when I'm shooting.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Had facial hair since I got married in 1977.
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

Me and my buds at the Howard Hill shoot this summer. That’s my son beside me…he grows hair well on top, while I grow it better underneath these days!  :goldtooth:
