Just saying hello to everyone

. I've been bowhunting for about 18 years. Back in 1998, I wanted to try traditional archery, so I started shooting a Bear Grizzly. I have some friends who were shooting traditional then and they shot custom bows so I decided to get one. I ordered a Black Widow MAIII "autumn oak" 62" 56lbs. @28"

. I really enjoyed shooting, and hunted with it in '99 (no luck, but a lot of fun). in 2000, family and work obligations greatly reduced my practice time. So I decided to return to the compound. I finally took my first P&Y whitetail in 2005. I knew when I put the recurve away that I would return to it someday. Well, now my oldest son (7yrs) has a bow and we can shoot together. This makes it easier for me to go back to shooting the widow. So I got the bow out of storage and am basically starting all over again to learn to shoot instinctively and setting up a recurve. One advantage I'll have this time around is place to come and ask questions and
share stories :D .
