1. Keep hair cut so short you can't see the gray.
2. Exercise / work in yard hard every day. (your muscles & bones are sore and tired from the hard work and not because of your age.)
3. Your pace is slower in the woods not because of age but because you have learned (the hard way no doubt)that you see more game by moving slow and taking your time.
4. The blurry vision isn't from age it's from all the sweat dripping in your eyes...
5. Finally remember, "Today is the 1st day of the rest of your life".....

where there is a will there is a way!

Quick question, does anyone know of a retirement home just for bowhunters?

I don't feel as old as that other guy in the mirror and recent photos must be in gray scale I don't even know that guy.Tonight I start 11 PM to 11 AM for seven days. That usually adds a couple years by the end of the week. I usually try to shoot a few arrows every day just to relax though.

You guys were saying what about gray hair, and gray whiskers??????
 
 

 

It's bad enough to look in the mirror, but at work, I'm Methusala, Father Time, or Moses.  All the little kids think I'm Santa.

This is a good thread.  Makes you realize that we are all in this together.  I am about to turn 61 and have been shooting the recurve for over 35 yrs.  Shoulders can't take quite as many arrows as they used to in practice, but they still seem to find the mark.

God Bless All of Us!!!

Dang it's nice to know I'm not alone!  You guys have even cheered me up, or at least I don't feel as bad.  Hope we cross paths some day, and I hope the elevation of our paths is a tad under 10,000 feet.  Thanks again
