Sure, you have to start with the bow, but how many threads have you read where guys are still trying to set up their bows worried about speeed, sigts, or releases. Certainly their right, but it is a little like trying to put a V-8 on a "buck Board".
It is the bow, but much, much, more. In fact, you can't take the mindset, or spirit out of the equation.
To me, and this is just my opinion, it is the willingness to accept a piece of equipment, this is harder to masters, accepting it's difficulty, becoming a better, more skilled hunter.
Not because this basic bow is less a efficient, but because it requires more practice, and woodsmanship in order to become consistantly successful. It is also the willingness to accept the fact that success may mean the hunt, rather than a kill.
It is finding the pleasure in the pursuit, rather than what may be laying at the end of a short blood trail, even though that too is what we seek.
It is the enjoyment of witnessing the birth of a new day , and the somber feeling of watching that day as it retires into our memory forever.
That is what it means to me. If you idea is different, I respect you, as we see, and seek what we want, need, according to our souls.
My hope to you is that you find it, where ever, and when ever you seek it, regardless of the form it may take.
Nuff Said.
