20 years

[Deleted by Admins]

this will be my 32 year of bow hunting.

I've been hunting for 32 years. I hunted with a recurve with my dad one year back in the mid 70's. I started again in about 1988, so that would be 16 years in a row with a compound now.
I still do hunt with a rifle also some years. (that way, I can hunt elk twice in the same year!)

17 years.

I think it's been about 18 years.

Starting 40th year with bow. Stood and sat in so many trees, my feet are curved.

Shooting for 27 years, Archery hunting for 20. Started shooting a willow branch with bailing twine as a string. I think I was kicking them out at about 15 fps. The arrows had masking tape fletches with one set at 4 degrees one at 10 degrees and the other was straight fletched. The arrows were tipped with balls of duct tape and my forward of center was somewhere around 50 %. Nock travel depended on the arrow. I remember a couple that would really kick when the knot in the branch would catch the riser. I will bet that my KE was probably around 1/2 foot pounds. Mom still acted like I was going to kill someone with it. Thats why the arrows ended up with balls of duct tape.

Seriously bowhunting.........8 years.
Walking around the woods with one large stick and several smaller sticks tipped with sharp objects............12 years.
