One way will always be fun. The other sooner or later will turn into hectic, work, grind etc. It is out of the realm of possibility that it won't. Just ask any top level pro of anything.

This weekend, I went to Balt Trad Classic. Bryon Ferg did his trick shooting thing, and a kid named Chris who was 12 year old came after him to try to do the same shots. Kid was good with his longbow. Already sponsored by gold tip and others. He came over and harrassed me constantly on the bow I was building. You got to love kids honesty. He told me his practice routine which was brutral. What I got out of it, was he loved hearing the clapping and praise, but would rather sit down and start whittling out wood. As amazed as I was to hisshooting, he was more amazed at the flint heads beingknapped out and the bows being built.
