Hey Doc,

The trad only is in April and that cuts out a lot of the crowd. I thought the price went up a lot, too, but I’m sure the expenses did as well. It’s a one dayer for me. I pass on the long shots, especially the ones in the rocks. Gear is too dear to bust up a bunch of arrows. Wimpy? I suppose. There’s plenty of spots to have a blast without the expense of losing arrows to rock walls. Overall a great shoot. I’m going to try to get there this year.

best, dwc

Alex, thanks for that last post. I figured you had it worked out for an ethical hunt. Glad to read it. Thanks, dwc

Alex, Whittingham is a great shoot. It was my first and it’s where I met Leon Stewart, who made my longbow. Hope to see you there. best, dwc

Alex. Looks like a good time. Saturday is the last day of the season here in Pa. Do you go to the Appalachian Bowmen trad shoot in April? Have a good time! D

This is turning into something interesting. Whatever the outcome, I’m sure I’ll hunt like I have been… whenever I get a chance. I’ll keep reading. Neat stuff. thanks, dwc

That’s a good one. We started that and then got side tracked with school work. I also wanted to add My Side of the Mountain, which was my favorite as a kid. My son loved it, too. dwc

Spent much of Sunday reading Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Spear. It was required reading in my son’s sixth grade class. It’s about a twelve year old boy in the Maine wilderness in mid 1700s. A good read for a twelve year old boy and his dad.

Last Child in the Woods. Preaching to the chior here, but a good work on the importance of getting outside beyond the lines.

One Hundred Years of Solitude. I think i started that one five times before I took hold of it. One of the best reads ever.

Basin and Range by John McPhee. Great story teller makes geology really interesting.

And yep, I’m a sucker for that guys Petersen’s work. There’s a guy that’s on every man’s side, but many will sadly never know it. Dwc

Mike, When I step outside to pee I can almost hit New Jersey. Where are you, Maryland, right? d

I have very very little experience to share. All I know is those washes fill up cast when it rains, but you provably got that figured out. I look forward to the stories and photos. Have a blast! Dwd

Mike, if you need a place to store one of your old ones, let me know. I’d love to try one out some day. dwc

R2, that’s a beauty. We do have a couple of those around here somewhere. I believe Byron Ferguson said something to the effect of… put your money in arrows. A lousy bow will shot good arrows better than a good bow will shoot lousy arrow!

Grumpy, I like that spot light idea… a lot! dwc

I ended up with a Bodnik Little Stick. My wife is a lefty and Kustom King was having a sale on just the right thing. I was seriously considering the Samick, but wanted to stick to a longbow. My two children have Pilgrims, so the Bodnik fits right in. It have a nice matte finish and the draw seems very smooth. It hasn’t been shot yet but I’m sure it will work beautifully. Thanks for the input from you folks. Best, dwc
