not sure if this really belongs in the powwow section, but thought I would post it anyhow to share with my archer brethern.. My father was an archer for 60 plus years before succumbing to death 2 weeks ago!  A traditional Archer till the last so I decided to give him a traditional send off. our final parting shot......I made up a special tapered cedar arrow with his name, birth date and death date on it. And since he was a founding member of shade Mountain Bowman in 1959...a bow club in Beavertown, Pa...I went to the club and launched  that final arrow over the treetops somewhere into its 90 acres when no one was there but his spirit and I........I let it fly one last time for my father......destination unknown with only his Divine Spirit to guide it........miss you dad.......your son....John "jackdaw" Getz

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.
