My condolences to your family.  A very fitting tribute.  Hope no one finds it for a long time and then leaves the arrow where it lands.

Sorry for your loss.  That last arrow was one touching gesture.  May his soul find peace eternal.

guys, thank you for the kind words. I aimed  the arrow and a more remote section of the archery club. On a side note, I used a repro 1959 Kodiakseeing how the club was founded in 1959..  .I just felt there was something serendipitous about that.....I'm glad you guys  approve....peace..

God bless you. I'm sure your father approves. My father has been gone 10 years and not a day goes by that I don't think of the great times hunting we had together.

Beautiful way to recognize the next step in your fathers journey. We can only hope someone cares enough to do this for us all when it is our time. All the best to you and yours during this time of remembrance and reflection.
