My wife says I'm way too much into archery and bowhunting, I'm treasurer of our local archery club, Director for Unitied Bowhunters of Kentucky, IBO & ASA member, help out at a local shop , tune bows & make arrows on the side for friends and co-workers, shoot lots of 3-D . It would be nice to be rich and do this fulltime but I'm not that lucky.

Hey Elkcrazy, sounds like you need to marry your bow, or maybe you already have, LOL !
For practice used to walk around my dad's hay fields and shoot at the bales of hay out in the fields. Was alot of fun, until he made us retie all the bales that we cut the strings on.
I go to the archery range once in a while, but for the most part, I can pull the old compound out and literally pound the bulls eye from 20-30 yrds. in the back yard. Gets kinda boring though, rather be shooting at a 3-d shoot or hunting something.

Well,

Im 17 and i remember being 6 or so and be on every hunting trip with my dad, there were a few occasions ofcourse where i couldnt go and i remember those times running out the door crying chasing my dad and his hunting buddy chads truck all the way down the street! or id be in the living room pouting cuz i couldnt go! For the most part my dad had me out there in the woods scince i was probably bout 6 and still am today. Im always shooting my bows, recurve and compound every day in the backyard, (but this winter i kinda slowed up a bit becuase im trying to sell my compound and buy the new liberty) becuase i think that getting in tune with both will help your shooting all the way around. i attend all the 3-d shoots and this last year i took about 8 days off of school to go elk hunting (LOTS of make up work [X(]) but it was well worth the experiences that i was able to witness!
