It's a Bow-n-Arrow
« on: November 13, 2022, 01:18:43 PM »
Several times in my life I have had conversations with people about shooting a longbow and the same thing comes up, "You gotta get close to use one of those."
That's part of the beauty of the beast, and that is hunting.
I really don't care how someone else hunts but I just never had any interest in the mechanical devices.
I got interested in archery when I was about 5 years old and at age 6, I got my first bow.
I didn't think I would ever get old enough to deer hunt, but eventually I got there.
And to me it's still "Bow Hunting".
I'm not knocking other methods of harvesting game, I'm just trying to explain that Bow Hunting to me has been a very big part of my life and don't have the words to get most people to understand it.
It's not a challenge, it's a passion, and I didn't do it to impress anyone but myself.
So pull'em back and put'em where you're look'in. :archer:

And I don't care about how fast my bow shoots, and the feeling that comes over me just before the shot, knowing where the arrow is going to hit.
Indescribable, but I'm sure some of you know what I mean.  :archer:

If I were a compound or crossbow hunter, the amount of serious trophy bucks on my wall would be amazing.

And I don't care. I hunt for myself, not the approval of others.

Great post !! there's a big difference between a good shot and a good hunter, The last Mule deer I killed was with a compound in 2008 I haven't killed one with my Longbow.
