Some folks are just naturals
« on: April 16, 2019, 09:21:28 PM »
So this young guy I work with was watching me shoot my Longbow this evening. He was intrigued to say the least. I said look it takes thousands of arrows to get good with one of these things...... finally I asked if he would like to give it a try? He said sure! All I could do was stand there with my mouth agape lol we were shooting from about 13-15 yards.
This kid had never shot any bow before today!  :dunno: He just ordered himself a longbow whoop whoop! Nothing I like more than getting someone hooked on Traditional archery.

He just kept putting them in there!  :notworthy:

Had a similar thing happen with me.
Young man works with me and has two custom longbows now. Occasionally he out shoots me.
Well done.  :thumbsup: :archer:

My wife shoots a bow one day a year, Saturday at ETAR. We typically just shoot the targets at the lodge. It's like riding a bike for her.

She just pounds them in there without effort. All day. Every year. No problem.

She makes me sick.

There is no great fun, satisfaction, or joy derived from doing something that's easy.  Coach John Wooden

That’s great!  I see he has on what we call down here his Bayou Labat’te Sunday’s best 😁

I also led a non-believer to the traditional light, he just ordered a Galaxy Luna.
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.
