I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me out so much this week answering my endless stream of questions, helping me deciper whats what and encouraging me through my bouts of frustration. Seems like this learning curve is a mile wide. I have learned more from just reading all of your posts than I ever could with any archery book.
I grew up in the concrete jungle of New York, didnt even realize that people actually hunt their own food until I married into a down home southern family 8 years ago. I was buying bean sprouts and tofu and practically starving him to death before he finally asked me if he could do the shopping.."just once". Well, he filled the freezer with meat wrapped in white paper and intoduced me to creamed corn and things changed a whole lot after that. I have spend countless weekends in the woods, fire-keeping or cooking, learning to skin catfish and practicing turkey calls. I finally earned a promotion to a treestand. There I sat for two seasons..weaponless.."learning to be absolutely still". This year I got my first bow. Its been a long time coming.
Anyway, thanks again guys for letting me in the club. I WILL take my first whitetail with a recurve...maybe not this year, but soon.
