When I joined the TradGang group I was graciously invited to partake in a local fun event, and I met some great people. I am the newbie to traditional archery, but I am no stranger to killing Canada geese. So, when Frenchymanny said he wanted to shoot a goose with his bow, I knew I could help!
We set a date, and Saturday was the big day. We were very lucky that the forecast changed at the last minute from heavy rain, to only clouds. I also was able to locate two good fields to hunt - 1 for the morning and 1 for the afternoon. Everything went very well. Our setups worked well and the geese cooperated. We got numerous chances to shoot in both the morning and evening. It was a hunt that PETA dreams are made of, because no geese were injured. LOL. We did give several a very close shave, and we learned a lot about how to set up and execute a trad bow hunt for geese. I think we did a great job for a first attempt, and only luck protected the geese on some shots. I was bad and took no pics in the morning, but I did snap a few in the afternoon to document the occasion.

Manny, enjoying the adventure.

Yours truly, ready to launch the lucky flu-flu.
This was a momentous occasion, as it was the first time I ever went afield with traditional archery gear. It was also a pleasure to hunt with a new friend, who shares my new-found interest.
It was great to have you as my guest Manny! I look forward to the next time, and having another try at this challenge.
