Title: Back To Trad!! :)
Post by: WildmanSC on July 10, 2013, 06:12:00 PM
I'm back to the trad world, or will be in a week or so.  I've agreed to buy a Morrison Cheyenne, 62", 43#@28".  It'll ship next week.  Below are pics of the bow.

Nice way to swing back into the saddle.

Thanks to all!  I sold all of my stickbows about a year ago due to my arthritis flaring up.  However, shooting an alternative bow is about as much fun as kissing your sister.  I found myself going to The Archery Shop, hanging my bow on one of the hooks, putting my arrows in one of the tubes and then sitting in the front of the shop for a couple of hours just talking and listening.  Then I'd get my bow and arrows and go home without taking the first shot.

Then last week I started looking through the Classifieds to find myself a recurve.  For me, fun in archery is spelled stickbow!!    :)

Been there, got the T shirt and the meds!    :eek:  

Stayin active and under supervision is what helped me back into the game...with moderation.

I wish you well and don't over do it!

Just like Ron said... Lighter and longer is the way to keep at this game... My hands are very particular in what bows I can shoot well...

Sell some bows, buy some bows....... Most Of All, Welcome Back!

Good to see you back Bill, missed you.

Danny,

Thanks!  Your stable of Silver Tips are outrageously gorgeous looking bows.  Nice touch with the name on the 58" bow.  It goes well with Don's board name!  

I wish I would have read your thread showing your stable of Silver Tips first.  After reading it, I now know why you named it Nakohe.  So sorry to hear about Don's passing away.  You have a PM.

Bill

I have a nice light-medium Browning Explorer I you can use until you find something else if you want...it is around 45#.  Great shooting bow...just let me know and will meet you and let you take it for a spin for a while.

Ron,

Thanks, but the Morrison Cheyenne will be shipped by the middle of next week.  Also, Budro has several bows hanging on the wall at The Archery Shop that I sold to him and I can shoot in the interim.

Welcome Back Bill.  Hope you can shoot for a lot longer!!!!

Post by: Brock on July 13, 2013, 11:07:00 PM
No problem Bill....figured Budro had some to keep you happy but had to offer....just in case.  I got 14 bows on wall and only shoot one at a time....  Glad to hear you are back.
