New guy
« on: March 23, 2013, 07:20:00 PM »
Hello everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself and  let everyone know I have joined the forum.
I am 63 years old and have been shooting since I was 10 so this is nothing new for me. Actually shot my first deer at 10, which was just blind luck with absolutely no skill involved.
I enjoy hunting, 3D shoots, and making my own arrows (aluminum and carbon only anymore). Over the years I have owned a LOT of bows, at least according to my wife, but it is a fun hobby. Currently my inventory is low with only about 7 or 8 but that is subject to grow at any time.

My wife of 37 years and I reside in NC , and we have a son and daughter who are both in the US Army as was I.

I'm happy to have joined this community of bowmen and women and hope to become a frequent and thoughtful contributor.

Thanks,

Bill

Welcome aboard.  You have found a good place.

Thank you and your family for your service.

No need to tell you what kind of addiction you're getting yourself into...LOL.

Stay safe.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Welcome to the Gang!    :campfire:    Army here, too, 71-74.
