      Enjoyed your brother’s article two4. Got a real sense of his learning curve at work. Look forward to reading more from him.

        Pewenogo,

        That’s strange, I didn’t have a problem with the email address. I’ll PM you the Chairman’s email. Thanks for the interest.

          Hi Sam, I’m a newbie here so I can’t say welcome back! Sounds like you’ve got some bad GAS (gear aquisition syndrome that is) 😀

              in reply to: My gear… #24226

              Thanks for the comments guys. It’s a simple inexpensive rig but I love it. Someday I’ll go custom but I’m letting my archery develop before that. I absolutely love shooting the wooden shafts, they just feel so natural.

              There really are 40 shades of green over here, especially now that spring has well and truely sprung here. The photos were taken in what I like to call “the grove”. It’s a patch of trees beside a tiny pond among the fields of the farm that backs onto my property. I rove the fields stump shooting and setting up targets on old abandoned bales. While great fun I would love to be legally able to hunt here but I hope to get away in the future for a hunt somewhere in Europe or even Stateside. You guys really are blessed with the opportunities you have. I’m supporting a campaign in Scotland to legalise bowhunting which would be great, I’ll post the details in another thread fyi.

              This forum and the magazine have been so helpful in putting together the right gear for me. Thanks!

                I’m instinctive also, but still a relative newbie, and I’m slowly working up the distance at the moment. But it works! For me it’s part of the challenge of archery.

                  That last one reminds me of another favourite of mine:

                  Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished – Lao Tzu

                  A lot like trad archery really!

                        Looks a beauty! Good luck with the change over, although it sounds like you’ve got it down already.

                            I do quite a bit of sea fishing and a few years ago i was putting in an all nighter on an isolated shoreline near where i’m from here in ireland. It was a pitch black night with only the sound of the breakers for company. After a while i thought my ears were playing tricks when i could hear a shuffling of feet on the sand further up the shore. I’d peer into the distance, scanning with my headlamp, see nothing, and convince myself i was going nuts. But i kept on hearing this shuffling of feet. Now around my parts there are plenty of ghost stories and banshee tales that fit the circumstances but i never was one for superstition, although my nerves were starting to fray with the approaching feet. Eventually, while doing my best to ignore the shuffling sound and convince myself of my own sanity, something stepped into the beam of my headlamp resulting a string of expletives from my mouth and a near heart attack on a beach in the middle of nowhere. A young lost guillemot sauntered past my light beam and on in search of his colony! His black plummage must have stopped me seeing him but while i cursed him i was glad it wasn’t the banshee!

                              I’m pretty happy on this little island in the east atlantic but sometimes i do crave some “big country” and real mountains which we just don’t have.

                              But as Steve said, anywhere this side of the sod will do!
