My merory,that is. Was out back yesterday shootin squirrels and just missed one and instead of grabbing another round out of my quiver I slowly stalk in to retreave the one I shot. I got to my arrow and the critter was 5 yds. from me clung to the tree about 2 ft off the ground and bolted about the time I snapped my Gold tip on the string. Why didn't I grab one from my quiver? Perhaps I'm use to practicing with one arrow. Perhaps since this was my first season shooting with quiver on bow. Should I blame it on being 51?
... :dunno: ...
:D
Possum head, Thats definetly it. I'm 52 and let me tell you, it don't get better. I don't mind ruining an arrow but the thought of loosing one just makes me sick.
The mind is a terrible thing.
Yep,From one 51 year old to another,you are not alone.Takes a while to get use to a bow quiver too.I know guys that just dont like them.I on the other hand still like them best for hunting.
...LOL... 51? Just wait till your 61, I forget where I sat my bow down.....and I'm in my yard! :biglaugh:
At least you had it to begin with. I never had it to lose! According to my wife...
i'm 51 too what were we talking about :bigsmyl:
i love my bow quivers and also carry a dawgware quiver full of cheaper arrows for squirrels and such!
Well, I'm 72 and I forgot what the thread was about already :confused:
You men sure know how to make me feel better about my senior moment.
Ron W. Ask Ol Possum about his bow... and stand... on a recent hunt lol. By the way i'm 51 now what were we talking about....
i am 63 and i am always forgetting something
John, that was for your ears only!
I'm 51. I think it would be my frugal nature that would make me pick up arrow one before I lost it, since shooting a second would make me forget where the first was.
Once you post on an public forum it's fair game :readit: now where did I put that bow...
You are just a kid.
CRS (Can't Remember Sh--)is just a gift for those of us that do stupid things.
Yea what Maineac said! What was it? I forgot already. My brain must be over the hill already and I'm not quite 54 so don't feel bad. :scared:
51! You're just a kid! Does your Moma know were you are???? 51.
What were you shooting at????
Aintcha glad it weren't a 12 point whitetail?
:banghead:
:D
Im 55.. or is it 54... no its 56 i think, o dang i was born in 57 so that makes.. or was it 56, humm whats for breakfast.. o sorry what were we talking about?
Well, you gotta blame it on something! That's the sign of being a good leader - knowing how to delegate blame.
Probably the age thing, but as others have said, you're still pretty young for that to hold. Actually, I've been forgetting stuff my whole life....
Wow 51,wish I could remember that age,but seriously we all do some thems that seem stupid in retrospect. :bigsmyl:
I'll be 55 this month. So far the only problem i've had is remembering to zip up! I used to see old timers with their zippers down when I was a kid and thought what the heck? Now I know and my wife thinks it's hilarius!
After reading all the great comments I cant help but see a pattern. All the older fellas seem to be compassionate as though they've "been there and done that". All the young whippersnappers can laugh for the moment I guess! Public forum but John, I retain the right to remain silent. I do feel better after the 12 pt. Whitetail comment. Stillhunter, keep your eye on the fly.
What are you all talking about??
Diddo on how "7 Lakes" put it...
