Did I purposefully choose a first bow that matches my arm? No. Is it a fun bonus? Absolutely.

My grandpa passed away last night of Parkinson's. He started an archery shop in his garage decades ago, which went on to become one of the best shops/ranges in the area. I found this archived newspaper picture and gave it to him a few years ago. Rest in peace.

This was my dad’s bow. My mom has told me stories about watching him fish/hunt with it when they were 18+ years old. Now 50 years later, it is mine, and I will do the same. Just starting, but I’m getting there.

Me in 1998 with a bow I had custom made by Fedora that I honestly couldn't afford. It was $900 and I mailed a tracing of my hand to the guy with a cashier's check. It is 32# at 24-1/2 and it's still an absolute beauty, Brazilian rosewood....no regrets.

First my dad bought me these awesome nocks, then he quickly threw this ground quiver together when he saw me struggling to stick the arrows in the ground. Thanks dad!

A long exposure photo using a strobing light up nock and a flu flu arrow. Lobbing these arrows into the back paddock trying to hit hay bales was loads of fun!

There's always that one fletch that's damaged...

1yr ⋅

⋅

I have diagnosed the problem as somewhere between the bow and the ground

1yr ⋅

⋅

If I had a nickel for every time I shot an arrow through the handle of my target I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

4mo ⋅

⋅

That's insane. I'll keep missing still targets for now.

I had an internship opportunity out of state and needed a place to stay. One of my best friends who works renaissance fairs said I could stay with him if I got a fair pass. That’s how I ended up sleeping at a renfair for the summer and selling English longbows on the weekends. A fun summer for sure!

All bows are satisfying ,even though recurve are my favourite

Attained my personal holy grail in the world of archery. RH Oneida Kestrel, Kanati pattern. Would’ve went with all black but for something so rare I’m ok with a little camo on it. Gonna look at arrow rests today, open to suggestions. (Will probably be a finger shooting setup)
