RE: How do you rate yourself?
I'd rate myself as above average . . . or slightly higher. I have friends and acquaintences who have hunted for scores of years that fit your decription of weekend warrior--they pull the bow out, shoot 5 or 6 arrows at a target, and then go hunting. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> They miss/wound a lot of deer.
Today's small bucks are tomorrow's trophies.
