When I was inducted into the Michigan BowHunters Hall of Fame in 2005 and my hunting Buddies were there to share the moment.

This one is easy for me. I just scored my first trad harvest last weekend. Not so much the kill, but a goal achieved. I made a perfect shot on a mature doe (the oldest and largest I have killed with any tackle) at 7 yards. There is so much more to traditional bowhunting than just "making the shot". I got within 7 yards of a mature whitetail doe, one of the wisest critters in the woods. Then I held it all together and closed the deal. I am proud of that.
This thread should come to the top at least once a year. This is the kind if thing that can change from time to time.

Over the years I have managed to take a few nice critters with my bows, especially selfbows.......
........However, I consider having passed my love for bowhunting and bow building on to others as my greatest bowhunting accomplishment. Rather it be teaching one how to build a glass bow.....

Or a selfbow.....

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Where was I, oh yea, Selfbows and my greatest bowhunting achievement…..
There just isn’t anything like them. If you have to ask why……………well, it is beyond me to explain the feeling one gets when building and then hunting with a primitive bow. Anyway, I digress..…
Watching the facial and body expressions of the first time selfbow builder as they create a functional work of art:

It is the joy on their face when they realize the piece of wood is close to becoming a reality:
It is when the student makes and hunts with special arrows as a tribute to one they admire……

However, it is more, much more. It is the sense of passing on a tradition, the heritage, the romance of the hunt, it’s teaching others as I have been taught.
Passing it on, when someone I helped or taught
“Gets It”,
I’d like to think that is my greatest bowhunting accomplishment.

After breaking my neck once and my back three times, after living with a terminal genetic syndrome eating my hips, I got suited up and I put a stalk on, for what will certainly be close to the last time.
Who cares if I shot something. I did it because I can do it. And that's worth all the trophies to me.
