Hummer attack..........
« on: July 25, 2012, 03:46:00 PM »
Out in the yard shooting like I do just about everyday when I reach full draw and a hummingbird comes in between my bow and my draw hand. He is checking out my red Cap and orange fletching. I let down and goes in a circle around me and then comes back to look at it again. He was so close I could feel the air move from his wings. I have had small birds sit on my arrow while hunting but nothing like this....kind'a neat!

Native Americans believe that nature is constantly sending us signs if we would just watch. Not everyday things, but when animals or nature interacts with you in ways out of the ordinary. Hummingbirds are good signs they are considered a good luck messenger.  Maybe this years your year, maybe that particular bow or arrow needs to see some time in the field this year.    :thumbsup:   Joe

You may make up for all those shotless years this season ron!
Either that or you should start marketing a Hummingbird feeder that looks like you at full draw.
