I would say I'm an archer that has always had an addiction to bowhunting. The only reason I classify myself as such is that I shoot my bows year round and hunting season lasts but a short couple of months. There are 8 or 9 months of the year separate from hunting and I'm not going to let all this expensive gear sit around when there's paper or foam to shoot.

That being said, as I get older I'm losing the urge to get up in the middle of the night, get dressed in a lot of heavy clothes, and go sit in a treestand for days at a time without seeing anything. In other words, after chasing deer for almost 50 years I'm getting burned out. The desire to keep shooting remains.
