I like 1966's as that was the year I was born. The bows still work but it's me that's falling apart !

Nothing fancy .My Amf Wing and my Howitt Bandito. both got in 75 money from my first job. They were stuck away for over 25 years tell I seen Tred Barta on TV one day.Now my guns are real lonely.

Use both of them . And some days I take both out after the fuzzies.
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

'61 Kodiak, '61 Polar are still in the woods with me sometimes.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

I'm not sure of the year. I have an AMF Red Wing Hunter 58"47#@28" If any one has an idea of the year, please share.

I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
