TRADITUDE? The positive attitude possessed by the Traditional

Archer . The attitude that never rises nor falls below the trajectory of the arrow as it flies toward the mark . The attitude that remains in spite of a miss .

I came across a quote the other day that touches on what I would consider ‘traditude:’

“If you presume to love something, you must love the process of it much more than you love the finished product.”

– John Irving

For me, it’s the connection that I have to the entire process of traditional archery that is so satisfying, rather than just some end result.

An ancient form of lunacy:? My wife knows I’m old and she knows I’m crazy about trad. So………

Not being surprised when technology lets you down.

Rhymes with gratitude, for the unknown chap that bent a stick and added a string and first flung an arrow. Hoist your tea glass or whatever to such genius! 😀

I think that pretty much sums it up. Actually, that’s pretty much what my film is all about.

I’d offer some deep thoughts, but I’m half way through my 2nd G&T and I’m affraid I’d embarass myself.
