This morning's session went well.  Set up an arrow with a broken nock from yesterday's session, stepped out to about 15 yds and "Thwack!"  First shot !

I wish I was ready to use my trad gear this year but I am just not good enough with it yet so it's my wheelie.

I got quotas into Walk in Water on Sept 30 and of course I go into Avon Park AFR.. I wish I would have started in Jan, I think I would be ready

Bruce, my friend, you have my highest admiration!   :notworthy:    :notworthy:  
To know and admit that your not yet ready to  hunt with trad. gear, even though trad. archery is tugging at your soul, shows strong ethics and a great respect for the game we hunt.
They say that one should lead by example, and you Sir, are a leader in my book!   :clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:

Gosh moleman, I don't know what to say other than thank you.

And you are right about it tugging at my soul. After all these years of shooting I never even thought about a trad bow. When I shot one a couple months ago ( a Howatt Hunter ) it was like the star spangled banner,  Independence Day fireworks and Reveille all wrapped into one. I shoot my wheelie every single day but my heart is just not in it.

Great shooting.  It will look even better when you do it on live game.     :)    Looking forward to some hero pics.
