I'm 59, and there was no such thing as a compound bow when I started shooting 50+ years ago. I will admit to shooting a dozen shots with a yard sale compound...hated it. I also shot two arrows from my son's new to him compound. I couldn't get the dang thing to let-off on the third try. Three trips to the chiropractor getting my shoulder put back into place, and I've sworn off ever shooting another.

My 4 year-old grandson shoots an antique lemon wood bow...my first bow.

65. Walked out the door this morning at 4:45, got to my climber at 6:15 and didn't need a light when I got to the tree. Too tired to do it again this afternoon. Been doing it since the early 60's so may be wearing out.
