Ishot my longbow for the 1st time last week in 2 months.I had a neck injury that cost me my whole hunting season so it felt good to shoot a little.I'll probably shoot a little more tomorrow

thats good....i read somewhere about a man that was wrongfully put in prison for 7 years...he had recently taken up the game of golf, and while he was locked up he did nothing but read and think about golf.
hedvisualizeeverything...the course, the shot, the ball, his swing, the wind, ect ect,.... everything that comes up in the game.

when he got released the first thing he did was play a round of golf and he shot in the low 80's.

not sure if the story was true...but it sounds very cool.

I haven't been shooting in a long time, and now I am kind of waiting for my New Crusader, should be here in Feb or March, then practice as I will be back in the states for hunting season this year.

I went out and shot my incorrect arrows again today. My fingers hurt. I am wearing a Legacy 3 finger glove but after about 30 shots it starts to sting a bit. Oh well, I guess I need some callouses.
EDIT: Alpha Capo- Very cool avatar BTW

I've been out just about everyday for the past three weeks. 50+ arrows at a time. I'm new and need to work on my form and accuracy. Its a good stress reliever after the kids go to bed.
