As a lot of you know I am recovering from neuro-surgery and am bored out of my mind!! So today I took a ride down and met up with Curt and did some stumpin!! He brought me to a spot that Cade and him shot the other day. It is agreat spot with lots of old stumps and trails leading up and down a small mountain! We had a blast shooting and talkin and just plain enjoying a great day!! Curt bought me lunch and we headed out, both of shooting pretty good!! Hopefully Curt will be along with some pics. More to come, I gotta go eat! Shawn
You were telling me about that the other day Shawn, glad your getting out!
That's great! You looked as strong as an ox when I saw you.
:bigsmyl:
Glad your getting around so well, cant hold a good man down. We'll be killing hogs together come next spring. :pray:
OMG Shawn! All ya think about is eatin'! :p
Anyway... Let's see some pics... Please...
... mike ... aka Waysiah ... :archer2: ...
Nothing will heal the soul and body like getting out to the woods and enjoying it with others. may the healing continue.
Keep up the good work.
Sorry, but I have lost 28#s in 2 weeks but feeling good!! Curt should be along with pics. I love shooting with Curt but I will admit that I really love shooting with Cade, he has become such a fine young man and I cannot wait for the day he is old enough to hunt with us!!(bunnies don't count!) We had some fun in the yard shooting a few ariel targets and some balloons too! More to come when pics. are posted!! Shawn
Shawn, pm sent
If I could lose 28# I'd feel superb... glad you're feelin good Shawn.
Hopefully Curt comes along and post a pic. or two, even of my ugly mug!! We had a blast and the weather down there was 8-10 degrees warmer than up where I live and the nice thing was no snow! Shawn
Glad to see you guys got together. Keep it up, bro. Can't keep a good guy down!
Hard to believe that he had brain surgery just two weeks ago!
But he's doing just fine, looks great!
Always fun hangin' with Shawn...
This creek crossing was used earlier in the morning...

I had to give it to Shawn a little about his "High tech traditional" bow, he was having rest "issues"...How cool it this Belcher ILF riser though...

Shawn's best shot of the day....we'd picked a stump about 30yds. away, and then a "dark spot" on the stump. I shot a hair over the "dark spot", just grazing the top of the stump. Then shawn pulls up and just drills it perfect!

I had to zoom in to show the result of his shot...

Very cool..Looks like a great day.. Curt you gonna be in the longbow div at the muzzy this year..Very nice bow Shawn..
Great story and pics Guys. Shawn, glad you are getting better, keep it up. Love to see the kids out shooting. Good shooting and God Bless
Glad to see you making a strong recovery Shawn.Stay well,Glen
Great pics! Looks like a fun time
Thats great, you got to get out and stretch those legs.
Awesome Pics guys. Wish I was there!

Days like that are few and far between. Awesome!!!

Looks like a lot of fun. Hope you are doing well Shawn. Curt the kids are growing like weeds.
Looks like loads of fun, glad y'all could get together & have some great time.

... mike ...
Shawn,
Good to see you up and about. I'm digging the skulls on the riser.
Curt,
I have to tip my hat to you. Looking at the second to the last pic , page 1 Cade's form .
OUTSTANDING :archer2:
Mike, the kid can shoot! Like father like son! Wish Cade could of gone stumpin but he had school. Next time it will be a weekend so he can join in the fun. Curt was a bit worried about me, as I noticed he would check on me as I was crossing a stream or coming down a hill, nice to have a bud who cares yet got me out and about!! Shawn
Shawn,
I believe it :thumbsup: Solid bow arm . I'm glad Curt was able to get you out. Good Bud to have.
Wonderful, looking good!
You guys are blessed man... soak it up. :thumbsup:
Curt,
Bout time to get those kids a new deer target, don't ya think? Maybe you can still use it as a decoy in front of a ground blind and shoot through that hole in its chest! My buddies are giving me flack about the 'repairs' I've done to mine, buts it's a "10" compared to yours! Thanks, I feel much better and plan to tell them if they can't say anything nice about my target they can take their bows and just go home!
ODR
Awsome. Looks like alot of fun there. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear that you are doing well Shawn. Looks like a great day. Thanks for sharing.
Shawn and Guru,
We met at Toolgate Archery a few weeks ago and I apologize to Shawn for not introduceing myself. I can now associate a name to a face like with Guru and I'm glad to have talked with you and him. Hope and pray for a continued recovery and keep on shooting your bow.
Regards,
Rick [Grouse]
Hey Rick, I remember ya!! I have said it before, this archery stuff is the best medicine in the world!! I am actually shooting real well, Curt may end up in longbow at the Muzzy and I may have to get some longbow limbs for the high tech bow and maybe get to shoot him!! Shawn
Looked like you had a awesome time hanging out like that! Glad to hear your doing well Shawn, hang tough! What limbs are you shooting Shawn?
Good stuff! :thumbsup:
Great story. Shawn, I wish you continued recovery.
All right Shawn.
Keep it up.
Hap
THAT WAS GREAT,GET WELL,,,,THANKS FOR SHARING...GOOD WAY TO LIFT UP THE SPIRIT,,,
I love the pics, makes me remember stuff so much better!! I am looking good by the way!(LOL!) Shawn
Funny I had to be woriied about Shawn....usually the last person I'd ever think of worrying about while out in the woods. But yes, I was concerned that we didn't overdo it and how he was feeling.
But everytime I asked, he was just fine...just kept thinking to myself..."unbelievable!"
I did tell him that if he did go down, I wasn't dragging him out! But, I was really thinking to myself that if I did have to, I'd have to dress him out first to make it easier :biglaugh: :deadhorse:
Good stuff! :thumbsup:
I'll have to try that treatment plan with some of my clients animals... Maybe the Doc needs to be there to "Supervise" the treatments... :biglaugh:
Glad you are doing well Shawn, archery is good medicine, but I think the kids may have helped some too!
I thought it would be weird seeing you shooting a longbow Curt, but good form is good form no matter what bow you are shooting. And the apple didn't fall far from the tree! Cade you have the same intensity your dad does at the shot, it is evident in the pictures, good shooting!
Thanks for sharing your day with us!
Jeff, nice to hear from ya!! Funny Curt and I talked about ya a bit and your new love of Jacks bows and about a mount Curt did for you!! Yup, Curt worrying about me, that seemed strange but appreciatted!! He knows I was scared to death over this thing but like a good bud, let me go and than reigned me in when and if he had too! Thanks to everyone, this site had made my recovery bareable and everyones kind words make me feel good!! Shawn
TTT, for a bud who wanted to see some pics. Here ya go Meathead! Shawn
Healing Power of good Friends, Kids and a bow and arrows are hard to beat.
