Got my Samick Sage Bow Today
It's here, brothers and sisters!! The bow is finally here. Got a notice from the post office yesterday and I KNEW what it was. Can you believe that my heart started racing a little. I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning. Only one thing wrong ... the bow was at the post office. Oh well, I had it to look forward to today.
At 8:00 AM this morning, I was at the P.O. door wanting in. Got my packages, ripped open the flat one and uncased a beautiful recurve bow. I was at work so I couldn't put it together right then but I sure did admire the beautiful colors of the wood in the riser. There it was, 62" of 40# take-down recurve. I couldn't wait to get home and shoot.
I had cooking duty this evening and made some delicious venison steaks on the grill. after supper and clearing the table, I sat down to put my bow together. "So Easy!! Even a child could do it, Jim."
I installed the fast flight string, put the stringer on and voila' ... it's strung. I found my 430 gr carbon arrows, put up the block target, put on my glove and wrist guard. I walked three paces from the target and turned. My hands shook as knocked an arrow. I tried to remember how it was done in the videos on Masters of the Bare Bow. standing straight, with a slight cant on the bow, and with a loose but comfortably secure grip, I drew and held my index finger at the corner of my mouth while looking at the "spot." The arrow was gone and in the block target.
I took a picture of my first arrow out of a traditional bow in many, many years. The arrow you see in the block is THAT first arrow at 3 paces. Yes, it's going to be a great journey in this traditional game. I am going to love the learning and to love the the folks who love it.
I shot perhaps 20 arrows and most were either in the 3" circle or in the white, very near the black. Yep, my fingers began to hurt. Had to quit but not because i wasn't in or near the black circle. Awesome, quiet, and fast bow. I love it.
When will I hunt? When the Lord tells me I am ready. I have confidence in my faith and in His guidance. I also have confidence in those who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. I hope to attend traditional shoots to gain even more knowledge and experience. I love this game.
P.S. A bow needs a strong name to help me fulfill its destiny. I have named mine: Eagle
May God bless all who helped me choose my bow, the seller, DChilds (a good brother), and all who gave me strong and sound advice.
