Don't forget to get ready for it before Midnight Sunday night gets here. If you can get someone to take your pic at Full Draw in preparation to do it, I want it, for my pages of Traditional Bows Drawn. :campfire:
-
Bernie, I launch an arrow every year. I will have to see if my wife can stay up to take the picture ! As my daughter shoots one with me.
-
As before...I will do it.

That'd be great. There are an awful lot of us that do it now, and I think it is neat, but of course I know I'm not going to get many pics of it. Any would be nice though. If it isn't too cold for my wife, I might even get her to take one for me - LOL.
Remember, all, at the Full Draw point for my purposes.
-
Bernie,
I'll see what I can do to get you some pics as well. Last year because the weather wasn't
to bad I ended up scrambling to string my wifes,daughters and sons bow at the last minute so they could join me. I'll have em all strung way ahead of time this year. LOL But one way or the other I'll get you some pics.
-
Me, Jake and Jim from Mississippi Lake Longbow are hunting the last day tomorrow. It will be some serious partying going on after that, so....Yep!!! we'll be flinging some midnite arrows!
I'll send you them Bernie.

I will get a pic of ruth and then myself with the new digital camera and try that!!
-
I'm on my way outside right now, but my wife couldn't stay up, so no pic :(
Still a great way to bring in the New Year! :cool:
-
Ruth and I launched in 2006 and they came down in 2007, got some good pics too
-
Out standing! Kevin Brown sent me one, and I got one of myself also. Should be some good additions to the pages. I love it! Be waiting for them. Some will get posted tomorrow AM. Happy New Years to all.

Got it, Kenny (4runr), thanks!!!

I don't have a picture but I have a short story...Yesterday afternoon, about 4:30, I went out back to shoot a little before dark... The air was crisp and still...The sky, clear with the most beautiful moon I have seen in a while...Something then came over me that maybe you might understand...
I Wanted To Shoot An Arrow At The Moon!!!...I'm Serious!!!...Just Stood There Looking Up and Had To Keep Myself From Doing Something Nuts!!!...If I were at my home in the mountains...Maybe...But in back yard in NYC...It's a no no to shoot over your fence... :eek:
OK So what's the point? Don't know. Asking YOU!
>>-----> mike <-----<< :rolleyes:

mgstalker, coyotes and dogs tend to bark and howl at the moon....... so it's only natural that a traditionalist would want to shoot the moon. "bet ya I can hit it from here"
Besides trad achers have relied on, and used the moon for centuries to aid them on the hunt.
-
Just look at all the Full Draw pics on my pages if you doubt the mystical, insistant, powerful attraction of the launched arrow from Full Draw.(Sometimes it sooths the sudden urges - but BEWARE - maintain full controll, as it can increase them - :archer:

Couldn't shoot at the moon, not any more till I retire up north, but I was in my basement shooting. If the groups I shot this am are any indication of how I will shoot this year...watch out ! (No...I meant that in a good way...you don't need to run and hide from errant shafts !).

It was pouring rain here last night. The wife and kids decided not to launch an arrow. But I did! I even got the little wife to step out long to take a pic or two with our daughters camera.
I'll get em posted this afternoon.

Bernie, I will email it to you as well.

"MW", Mitch Walker Had a little camera problem and had to use his Daughter's Fisher-Price to get a pic of his Son, Sky Walker, launching his New Year's arrow into the Utah night skies. He also said he was "posting challenged". I felt the least we could do for their dedication and effort was lighten the too dark picture, and commend Sky for doing his part, both here, and on my Pages. Good work, guys - under adverse conditions. With that kind of "Can-do" attitude you'll do GREAT next year - LOL. Thanks, guys, this ones for you.

Thank you for the help!
The little guy and I had to sneak out a little early to launch. It was about 20 and the jammies a little thin.

Here is my wonderful wife and I (http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p147/Dalebow/DaleatFullDraw.jpg) (http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p147/Dalebow/RuthatfullDrawNewYear2007.jpg)

You and Ruth's New years pics are up on my pages already also dale - Thanks again.
John, (Mystikbow) I like that one and am grabbing it forthwith - LOL. Tell me something about the bow please, to add on.
-
Bernie, here is one of Jim Godden of Misssissippi Lake longbow, along with Jake H. ( Jake is the lefty)You can guess what bows they are shooting!
I was there, sadly I had a family crisis going on with my 16 year old daughter.We drove over an hour in freezing rain to get home. She was okay and it was resolved.No time to get back for a midnite pic though, sorry.

Bless you, BD. Sorry to hear about the "scare" and glad all is resolved. We realize why our parents got so upset when we scared them - only after we get kids of our own to scare us - and so on into the future - tell her she'll get her scares too, bless her heart.
Thanks for remembering the pics under the circumstances.
-
oh I'm banking on the fact of "what goes around comes around"....LOL I always tell her that I hope she has a daughter someday... ;) :goldtooth:
-
A-yuh! My Daughter has two daughters and her oldest girl has two daughters - I laugh a lot!!! :biglaugh:
-
Bernie, The bow in my pic is a little 52" Check-mate Raven. 58#'s. I traded one of my longbows to a fellow Tradganger for it and received it just before Christmas. It's one heck of a shooter!
-
Thanks, MSB, I'll add that in - folks like that kind of info (I think).
