Title: I'm new to the Forums
Post by: Aquarius Archer on February 08, 2009, 01:30:00 PM
My name is Joshua. I'm BobCo19-65's son. I am turning 14 soon. I started shooting a bow when I was 7. Last year was my first time turkey hunting. We were not able to get anything but we tried. This year I will be hunting turkey and deer. I plan on getting my first trophy animal. I'm not afraid to take any advise.

I met Byron Ferguson when I was 9 and he signed a picture of me shooting my bow. Byron Ferguson told me that I have good form.

This winter I have been working on form a lot. I have 4 bows. One selfbow, another self-bow that I made three years ago, a Howard Hill longbow, and a Bear recurve. The Bear is my favorite.

Awesome.  I like Gregg Millers books for bowhunting advice.  DONT BURN OUT DEER STANDS BY HUNTING THEM TO OFTEN, I wish someone had told me that when I was younger and starting out.  With your accomplishments already I can tell you will do just fine.

Most definetely.

It took many hours to finish up that bow. Josh stuck with it and the bow turned out beautiful. He even signed and dated it before we put a finish on.   :)

My boy you are heading on a life long journey that has no cure, you will feel every emotion known to mankind from total fullfillment to utter frustation.Joy will come from many angles,most of when you totally unexpect it. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It seams your well on your way. The best of luck to you and yours. Keep your nose in the wind and watch your topnotch ! from the Great White North Saskatchewan , Canada.

"I plan on getting my first trophy animal".

Remember that any deer or turkey taken with a bow is a trophy and a gift.

Welcome aboard! You will learn a lot here.
