well many of you know that my journey began in January of 2015. I knew nothing about trad archery. many of you stepped up to help. I put days and days of practice in with anticipation for this fall. tonight was my second sit of the season. I went to a property that I have not set foot on in 3 years. no scouting or anything . but I had a free afternoon so off I went. I decided to sit in and stand that use to be decent. there was very little sign but there were 2 trails. I set up and waited. about 5:45 I had a dos come in at 25 yards and fed away from me. I was jacked up! the. 20 mins later 2 more does come through same spot. they meander off. 20 mins go by and they come in right behind me. the first walked 13 yds beside me but did not stop and circled in front. the other followed but stopped at 13 yds. I knew was about to happen. one picked me off and bolted. the other stood dazed long enough for me to draw. I anchored and let go.... the arrow sailed right over her back a few inches and she bolted. I learned 2 things tonight. I need to bend more at the waist and especially when they are on high alert. after I realized what happened I thanked Jesus for that experience and was not mad or upset one bit. I told myself I needed that to happen, there was so much anxiety built up from 9 months that I needed to cool my jets some. I realized right there In that tree that if I was shooting a wheelie bow I would have killed 2, but instead I come home empty handed, and wouldn't have it any other way. this is where I belong. I'm just so happy to have had the experience. thank u tradgang for taking me in.
