 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I'll just say I couldn't quit it if I tried. Shooting, bow and arrow making, the gatherings, and most of all hunting, its all enjoyable and a part of me. Can't hardly get through a day without dabbling in a least one of those pursuits for a least a few minutes if not hours. Lose track of time when engaged in it.

Its in my blood...literally!  Stickbow hunting feels so "right" and pure.  It makes me feel "at one" with nature.

What got me going was the challenge of making something out of wood that I could use as a sport.  So much better than building furniture.

If I had to hunt to feed myself and my Family? I'd likely choose a Firearm. If I had no firearm, I'd choose the Bow and Hooks and line. I Bowhunt because I enjoy not only the Hunt but the equipment and the shooting that gets me ready to hunt. I just enjoy the Hypnotic effect an Arrow has on me and the anticipation in the Woods. It is the season and the Woods that charms me too, not just the Bow. The Bow seems to put me out there in the Woods more than if there was no Archery season. That alone is worth it to my Body and Mind. I will go until I cannot do it anymore.

A good and fair question.For me after decades of shooting deer with a muzzleloader it was'nt as exciting as it is now.The intesity is a lot higher when they come into within 5 yards of me.Plus the satisfaction that my weapon is made by me from my backyard.Target shooting...I just like to watch that arrow fly to it's target.Metting new people and exchanging ideas is gravy to the subject.

It's pretty much my life and has been for many years. It's the only hobby I have.Short of God/ Miss Joanie/Family and friends it's the top of my list of loves of my life. :) My dogs are right below that. ;) :)
