Just wondering if any of you fellas have been setting goals for yourself this winter for upcoming sesaons. Seems like most of us on here dance to the beat of a different drum, so here goes.
1. To make a self bow at the Tenn. Classic and hunt with it this fall!

2. To take a Turkey with a flint tip/wooden arrow that I make, flethced with Turkey feathers from my previous kills.

3. To take a deer, with a flint tip/wooden arrow that I make, as above.

4. To have as much fun as possible shooting trad., and interestet folks in the sport by attraction, rather than promotion, especially younguns.

These may not seem like big goals to some of you guys, but I beleive most of them to be attainable and yet challenging to some degree. Now everybody jump in and lets hear your goals for this year.

My goals are simple, sort of.

1. Make my own bow, which is started now.
2. Make my own arrows with stone points that I knapped and fletch with turkey fletching that I have now.
3. Harvest a deer or two or three with traditional archery start to finish.
4. Hang up my compound as I did with my guns.
5. Enjoy the time I have in the woods, harvesting or not.

My goal for my 2011 huting season is to kill whatever I'm hunting using my red oak board bow.  I have taken my recurve apart and have put it away.  I'm trying to shoot nothing else but my longbow and fir arrows.  Good luck to those with their goals this year.  Have fun!

Have fun!

Try to get 1st big game animal!

Draw an elk tag.

As for me, This will be my first year with trad gear in a long time, so mine are pretty simple !

1-Kill some does, get some game under my belt !
2-Im still going to be selective with the bucks,so I wanna kill a P&Y with a recurve.
3-Kill a Bear with a recurve

Being able to shoot again by Turkey Season!!

My goals for 2011 is to just get in the woods more. I have 3 kiddos ages 2,4 and 7. And finding the time to hunt the past yrs has been hard. But now my oldest has shown intrest so we are going to get out in a ground blind this yr and see what we can do.

Stock my quiver up with small game arrows and shoot a pile of squirrels during deer season.    

1)Spending more time with my son a field.
2)Experiencing his first trad harvest.
3)Building memories,

To take a DEER & Hog on Public Land in Texas..
Live to see 12-22-2012

Draw my first Turkey Tag and get it with my longbow. I'll then use the LW feathers to make some arrows. Turkeys are just getting a good start here in my part of Idaho.

Shoot a deer with a trad bow.  My Grizzly or WARF bow which ever one I am shooting best by June so I can shoot it all summer.  Watch my wife shoot a buck with her bow.

Build a bow for my nephew.  

Make turkey wingbone call from this fall's harvest.

Take the time to remember whats really important.

Now that i've typed it I think they are in reverse order.

My first goal is to kill a lion this coming weekend.

Then a bobcat before season closes.

Then a turkey this spring.

Then a pronghorn in August.

Then a mulie and elk in September.

Then whitetails in Nebraska and Missouri later on.

Get out and have fun, get to hunt as much as I can stand and maybe have some success! And maybe to thin my collection of bows down to a few favorites!

I wanna go with Shedrock!LOL

Kill an Eastern turkey without a blind.Kill an elk and a Merriam's turkey without a blind.All with a longbow and home-made woodies.Maybe even kill a nice Michigan whitetail in early November...most of all get out as much as possible with my 10 year old daughter.She is very interested in my "obsession"...

i am also going to try and make my first selfbow at the classic.i want to do this so bad.i also want to take my first primitive deer with cane arrows and obsidian points.i have never had a mentor to help me along,but i am going to change that this year.good luck to you on all your goals this year,steve  

As I have just retired. My goal is to spend as much time in the woods as I did when I was on the job. Which works out to around 60+ hours a week. I am looking forward to it!
