There I was...

[ishiwannabe]

In an awkward position, slowly drawing and trying to manage my anchor. I could feel the sweat rolling down my back as I strained to locate a spot on my target. A mosquito buzzed somehwere near my ear as I zoned in on the tips of the grass my arrow needed to pass through in order to hit my target beyond...The release just happened.
I watch in disbelief as my arrow spins away towards the spot I burned a hole in....barely touching the blades of grass.
THWACK!
I ease my way forward, careful to choose my footing amid the boulders and logs. I see my arrow, standing erect as if to guide my way.
I retrieve my trophy. A 4x4" foam block. I just made the dreaded bedded buck target suffer for all those prior misses.

It was an amazing dream. I wish I didn't have to miss the Muzzy this year...have fun everyone.

Jamie,

That is great news. I am happy to hear you are recovering.  That shot must have done wonders for your phsychie.

If anyone was going to make it through, I'd put $ on you.

I have never gotten the bedded buck block, or know anyone who has.
Anyone out there who has gotten it?

Wow, I could actually visual you making the shot, great description!  Hang in there, be patient, and you'll be back to the stick and string soon enough amigo.

I saw Curt and Shawn both nail it one year when we all shot together.
I don't think I have ever cleared the wall.

Poor picture quality...but you get the idea.

Jamie my friend I too will be absent!! You will heal just hang in there. I had brain surgery and I am OK so you will be too!! Cindy and I have been married 25 years the weekend of the Muzzy and even though she gave me the OK, this is for the women who I could not live without!! We may stop on Sunday and say HI too everyone!! Heal quick my friend!! I have some real light limbs and bows so when you are ready just ask!! Shawn

[ishiwannabe]

Congrat Shawn and Cindy!
I am starting to feel the itch to shoot bad. So far I am behaving. No surgery, PT for now and the prospects are good.

Jamie,
     The Muzzy will be there next year. Just keep up the P.T. and it will be worth the wait. Good luck.

Glad to hear the PT is working for you Jamie.Hope you can stop in sometime Muzzy weekend...it would be good to see ya!

I got it twice in one day 2 years ago. The trick is that you can't see the target and have to clear the rock out of your mind. As you are kneeling down and you feel like your arrow is going to hit the top of the rock that is when you need to release. It's sorta like trying to see how close you can come to the rock without hitting it while not being able to see the block....at least for me.

i should add that in the 15 or so years we have been doing the Muzzy those are the only 2 times I got it.
