Hope to be home from work in time to keep the tradition. Been doing it since it was first mentioned on another forum.

I don't shoot it into the air. I shoot at my target.

One of the European archers (earlier over there) Soaked a sock in gasoline - got some great pics. Enjoyed it so he tried it a few times - said it worked well. Careful though - the high wind here and the resultig tinder box conditions could make it tricky this year - if not over water.

Regular lighter fluid does the trick or glow sticks work too

I'll shoot an arrow at midnight. Sounds like a great idea. If you don't mind, though, I'll pass on the flaming arrow thing. I'm not sure that my neighbors would understand.  :D

I don't do flaming arrows but i mention it because other daring souls like it but here I am with my "Hannah Holmi" , shooting an arrow at one of my targets off the lower level of my tower. Pic taken courtesy of my wife.

 

Happy 2009

Great idea -- shooting a wishful dream arrow into the future.  Iam stringing the bow right now.  Best wishes to all in the coming year.

Have you noticed that the times you don't get nothing while hunting, are usually the most fun you've ever had.

I just launched mine a few moments ago it was sure something blazing off in a ball of fire! The kids were impressed anyway and the wife even rolled her eyes!

Sooooooooo glad to see (and read) so many reports of participation (with or w/o pics) and such heartfelt wishes for fellow archers and fellowman. Love the Message on your coat, 4rnr.

I will be saving FD pics and when I get them all gathered from different forums, they will appear in my Traditional Bows Drawn Pages (Page 19).

I didn't, 'til I went back and checked, Kenny. Some of the Carbons I put up, that you got recently in the fundraising effort for young archers - looking good, buddy! Adam will also make the FD new years gallery on my traditional Bows Drawn pages - we sometimes find it hard to catch kids at actual FD in the heat of the moment - LOL.

metsastaja, the video of the glow lit arrows flying was real neat - music and all. I have got to sit down and figure out how to use and post my video capabilities - soon. I have a video camera (that I used to pull stills from - but it was not easy) and a still that takes video clips, both digital. Plus my new puter has the bells and whistles that should be easier than the older ones I had.

ber643 thanks for the compliments..using video started when I switched from a compound to a recurve and longbows in March of 08. I needed a way to watch myself shoot and adjust and critic my own form. I now video short portions of my hunts, practice in the back yard etc. It is amazing what a video can catch that the human eye misses.

Here is a non traditional target practice.

HAPPY NEW YEARS to ALL

Some good shooting in that video, Les, and great visuals. I did a little videoing when I first switched over also (with my wife's help) for the same reason - in fact I think one is still in the archives.

Good pics of you and your friend, Matty, and the fire arrows, Bobby. They'll look good in my FD pages too.
