It's been awhile since I was able to shoot without the pain in my side constantly but may have it figured out where it may be resolved very soon. It has put me out of work due the inability of the heavy lifting, unloading and driving all day for long hours on top of managing the terminal. So far every test has been negative but have a few more to do before they pinpoint the problem.
I've since been working on my leather orders and am very greatful for the patience and kindness everyone has showed me.
All of which will be finished up before the end of this month....
I am trying to stay in shooting shape so I can hunt this fall if all goes well and would like to build back up to my 51# longbow, as it's becoming more tolerable.
Took some pics today of some consistent grouping from 15 yds. The 3555 gold tip carbons are perfect for me.
This is very encouraging considering how crummy I've been feeling...I'm really excited about this bow season with the excellent land we have to hunt....best venison I have ever tasted and they are all plump around here :thumbsup:
Thanks for letting me share! :campfire:

Great shooting Shell! Glad to hear you're feeling better and hope they figure out the cause soon. I'll keep in my prayers.
Terry
Wow! Shooting groups like that and not feeling in hunting form? Wonder what you'd call my form?
:bigsmyl: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Way to go Shell!
Oh, yeah! That'll work, Shell! Keep it up - good attitude is so important in all we do - especially healing.
Thanks everyone :)
It's an honor coming from such accomplished archers as all of you!
Just sorta happy that I'm able to maintain something even though it's not all that,
nice to be able to share my excitement about this season and the real challenge (venison on the table) I could live off that and my other passion....fishing! :)
The bow is Frank's with the lighter set of limbs and the arrows are too but found they shoot very well for me...the best arrows I have ever shot even with the mis-matched fletching.
Testing resumes in a few weeks so hopefully it's just a small rupture and can be resloved fast...
I'm getting way too antsy
:bigsmyl:
:thumbsup: Great shooting and so wonderful to hear you doing better. Don't over do it, we all want you to be in the woods this fall. You are in all our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery! We think the world of ya!! :campfire:

Shell, Darlin'.....I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat!!!!!
Get Well Soon!!!!! God Bless.....
Good shooting Shell, get well soon!
Bill
Great to hear that you're doing better Shell! Prayer Works! Looking forward to reading your huntin adventures this fall. Keep up the good work and we'll keep praying for the Lord's healing......Terry
Brent, You are so kind and are a true friend :) ...I do need to take it slow even though I'm really anxious...I was out practicing with the Marriah Williwaw that I received from my wonderful friend Terry Riley and is a bit heavier # bow than my LB but very smooth draw and able to shoot accurately, only for a short time frame (for right now)...a very fast bow and beautiful in every aspect!
I love a one piece in either LB or Recurve, something about those lines....
(love the arrows that you sent to Frank....they are amazing!) :bigsmyl:
So much to do up there and so little time!
Terry, You're awesome! Thank you for your kindness and support and patience most of all with me...but especially, your prayers...
I know He won't lead me where He can't see me through.
I'm happy for progress....and blessed with friends like you :)
Great shooting there Shell,, Hope you feel better soon and prayers from the Bobb family on there way,,God bless,,Oh ya Great shooting,,JB
Shell, didn't know your a fly fisher also, no wonder we get along so good! nothing like the solitude and peacefulness of a nice trout stream to re-charge ones life batteries! it can also be a good way to scout deer too!

Tell me you took some of those spotted rascals with those flies I tied in my younger days, Ken - or did they all fall apart from age - LOL
Thanks Jason :)
(Beautiful deer in your profile) obviously "great shooting" of your own! :thumbsup:
Ken, That is BEAUTIFUL! I learned the first time on the Wolf river when I was 15 (mom wanted to get me away from the city for the summer to stay with my friend and her parents who moved up from our block to Shawano then finally Gresham)...the first week it was so quiet, I was'nt used to that & was very restless...but after all the scenery, peaceful walks in the forests and wildlife, I did'nt want to come back.
Never was exposed to a deer until the day I walked outside to the tall reeds at the edge of our woods and kicked up some doe bedding down, scared me half to death listening to all that hissing, huffing and puffing as they jumped up...
Seeing wolves and bald eagles in the wild was unbelievable to me.
The very first time I was exposed to hunting and real fishing...it's something how nature can do that to a person's soul.
Archery was a normal thing to do on the weekends for youth activities and got a real taste of it, I truly fell in love!
I am very thankful I got to do this and thanks so much for sharing that picture, it brings back peaceful memories :)
:campfire:
Excellent!!!!! Hope you get feeling better, and I can't even shoot that good when I am feeling my best...LOL!!!!
Great post and the best of luck to you!!!!!!!
Shell that's a great story. It's great how nature can touch ones life and show them where real beauty is. I too love some trout fishing. Those beautiful gems live in the most spectacular places!
I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope you make your goal of hunting this year.
