Default RE: I am old and weak

Nope...Just maturing...

I've never shot over 64 pounds, a few years ago I pulled my back, dropped down to 58 pounds...Kept my shots under 25 yards, which is about max I can shoot in the deer woods in Sept/October anyway and still killed deer...Back when I had a Bear Whitetail, I started at 50 pounds, still worked...Before that, I shot a 45 pound Bear recurve...

I love a smooth bow...That's why I shoot a bow that's 15 years old or so...I just don't like most of todays bows...

To me, hunting is about the setup and the ambush...I set up to have close shots with a bow and with my flintlock...That's what keeps it challenging...That's why we bow hunt...I also hunt with a scoped .243, have killed deer out to 300 yards...In that situation it's really about shooting deer, not hunting deer...

Hunting is a hobby, keep is simple and it stays enjoyable...
