I'd have to say getting my 5yr old grandson into archery with a bow and some arrows. Seeing his face light up when he comes over to the house and says "let's shoot bows and arrows"...well that's just the best.

Gettin my late brother back into traditional archery after a 30 year hiatus and seeing the love of the sport blossum anew in him the last 6 years of his life. He killed a nice doe on the first hunt I took him on after getting back into it. He was the best hunting partner and I miss him dearly.

Getting my friend Carl back into bowhunting so he could take his first traditional deer out of one of my stands. I miss him everday now that he is gone.

Shooting and loving tradtional bows for 55 years and still going.  Just love to shoot arrows.

My greatest accomplishment so far is still my first trad deer.

I think some of my efforts have resulted in several people getting involved in this sport, my three kids,their friends, my grandkids, numerous people that have come to our shoots, and literally hundreds of kids that have been introduced to our sport through club donations that purchased equipment for NASP. I have downed a few animals in my time, but they pale in comparison to the previous accomplishments.

Shiras moose with selfbow!

My biggest accomplishment is: coming up with a goose egg this year and being ok with it.

There was a time when I had more blood lust....now, I'm mature enough that I just enjoy being out there.

[huntnmuleys]

Learning to call in mature, herd bulls. Elk are my biggest passion in life, and while this hasn't made a more successful hunter, itsmultiplied my enjoyment so many times over, and that's why I hunt em in the first place..... well that and meat.

Teaching several youngsters to shoot and hunt, and taking disabled vets on hunts, some of which were no longer able to use stick and string.

Those hunts far overshadow all of the critters I have been lucky enough to take personally in my 40 years of bowhunting.

[mnbwhtr]

Teaching over 50 classes of Bowhunter Ed.to students. Shooting all 5 species of Caribou ranks second.

[joe skipp]

I second MNBWHTR...I became a NYS Bowhunter Ed Instructor 23 yrs ago and enjoyed all the years of teaching young and old about this great sport of ours.

The best part..I ran into a couple of guys I had in class back in the late 90's and they thanked me for running a good, informative and fun class. All the critters that hit the ground over the years mean alot but giving back to my sport means more.

[Bighornangler]

My first deer with a bow in 1972. It was a seven point buck taken with a Browning recurve and a fiber glass arrow with a Bear razor head on the ground. My 2nd best accomplisment was a 6 pt. buck taken with the first bow I ever made, a hickory self bow. There have been other accomplisments, but these were two of my biggest thrills.

having a grown son and daughter that still shoot traditional and call the old man to join them once in a while......
