Identifying and taking steps to remove the barriers should enable you to more directly follow your true desires.

Would be interested in your sense of enhanced fulfillment later in the year.

Good luck, I have noticed some of the same now that I am up to 3 bows.  I have all I need, i have to work on using them for my intended goal, putting meat in the frezzer.

Right On The Button TW! Just the other day I said to myself... "Self, try not to spend any hard earned cash on archery stuff this year." Maybe I should be happy with what I already own and USE IT!

Maybe... This year, maybe.  :rolleyes:

I too feel motivated to join with you in your quest but I need to finish out the stuff I have on the table and back burners before I can begin such an admirable quest.

I'm still rooting for you TW!!

God bless,Mudd

There is a fellow named "Dan" in the Grants Pass, OR area - he makes custom POR arrows from scratch -- yep starting with the tree. He is an expert BT hunter and very fine fellow.  He used to run an archery shop "Wapati Archery".

The perfect setup is the setup that has been perfected, they seldom come straight off the shelf.

Appreciate all the encouragements! For those who will remember this post, be looking as I will periodically report on my progress as I wait for the next hunting season to arrive.

This is a very attainable goal for me as I have the desire and determination. The Lord will be my guide, Howard my inspiration and Trad Gang my support rally!   :D    :thumbsup:

I thought I was done hunting but as it turns out, I think I just need a good change of scenery

TW, I wish you luck! I personally don't have the money to have to many toy's, so it limit's my options. I have one bow and I've gotten very acquainted with it. I tend to spend most of my money on arrows these days.  Jason

Yes we do lose focus on things and get caught up in the whatever. Good for you on recognizing it and redirecting your passion. Best to you.

Good plan,we all get caught up in it all from time to time. Find what works for you and stick with it.The old saying...."heed the man with only one rifle for he likely knows how to use it" can be said about archery too.Good luck!

Good luck T W !

I said the same thing this year ,I was trying to concentrate on a hunting bow ,And I have purchased and traded about 7 to 10 of them .

But no more ,I have found a person that has made me three fantastic bows 36# 43# and 47#

Chad Holm ,I use a 36# to get my form down 43# For target practice , And the 47# For hunting .

I just said to myself just two weeks ago ," yep this looks like hunting ,you pick a spot set by tree and wait for deer to come by ,Who was hunting who " !

Well now to have my own 40 acres ,I should be able to figure out the trails and the habits .

You know they start threads on elk hunting "How already are you "

Maybe we should start a thread on "Back to the basics and on target "

You could be the leader that focuses us !

Let's do it how about it a Terry !

DeerSpotter: Appreciate the vote of confidence but, I don't think I could be the leader of anything 'til I've had my first harvest. Still got plenty learning to do.   ;)
