Today I killed a small buck with my longbow.  I've been shooting since last winter.  I never understood what people meant when they said,"I'll take the shot when it feels right" Now I get it.  I didn't think about yardage like it would with a compound.  It all seemed to happen so fluently, I saw the buck, and never thought about shooting or not shooting. My bow came up, I drew, and watched the arrow go right where I was looking. Clipped part of the heart and the Wensel Woodsman left a blood trail that a blind person could follow!  The only down side to the story is that by next year my hunting area will become a new townhouse community.

I'll try to attach a pic.  I'm still surprised that everything came together.

Just like in Zen and the Art of Archery... it just happens if you prepare well and act in the moment - no thinking required. Well done!
