Thats it,right there.
Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.

Well stated Mike - you need to vent more often!  Even those of us who should know better can use a reminder of what is important from time to time.

Yes. It's a journey, not a destination.
Is it too late to be what I could have been?

I don't have any words to add but I think you summed trad bow hunting/shooting up in a nut shell. Thank you.
