Not sure I ever saw this thread before. It's great! Thanks Charlie & Ron & all who posted their pix. Didn't take photos of my early bowhunting years. Kodak Brownies needed expensive film. But, I'm reliving through you guys. Thanks.

Trad is 60% mental & about 40% mental.

I can't get over people talking about the eighties and nineties... as though that was all that long ago.   :dunno:

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.

Seems just like yesterday Killdeer........
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Yesterday when I was young  
there were so many bows just waiting to be strung  

so many feathered shafts to send upon the wind  I never thought the time for that would ever end
We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Life is like a wet sponge, you gotta squeeze it until you get every drop it has to offer

Me with my first longbow. I think I was preparing for a grizzly hunt that season.

Ron. FYI, I recently attended a Byron Ferguson trick shooting demonstration. When he did the shot seated with the longbow on his foot, he credited you for giving him the idea. Clint
