Your 2017 Trad Goals

[PineyWoodsBow]

My worst season yet for WT. I think it was the weather for the most part, but I had a lot of close calls that I just couldn’t finish

Well one out of 5 stinks pretty bad too.

I would like to get on a fantastic deer lease in OLD MEXICO with a solid group of guys!

Not that you wouldn't have fun but this is about our goals as traditional archers.

My goal is to get good enough to take an animal with my selfbow.

Welllll....my selfbow broke so I've switched to a recurve. Still trying to kill a deer with traditional tackle. The season ain't over yet.

I've made progress. I'm enjoying the journey. But it's humbling to say the least and at times almost humiliating. I'm so comfortable shooting at targets but on animals I always question everything. Still got a ways to go I guess.

This is exactly how I feel. With my compound bow I was full of confidence but with my trad gear I'm worried that 1, am I good enough to make the shot. 2, do I have the proper set up to to kill effectively.

That confidence you seek is probably one of the most important things to making it all come together! Even though they don’t always make perfect shots, the really good and successful trad hunters all “know” they are going to make a perfect shot when they pull back on a critter!!!

Thanx Bisch. You've been an inspiration and guide on this ride the last year or so. Tomorrow is another day in the blind so we shall see.

1. Get back to shooting every day
2. kill something with my longbow here in Texas

Hey Presto! 2 for 2!!!



Stretch goal: Kill something with my new recurve on Saturday.

Also, I may save it for 2018, but I need to enact vengeance on some ninja squirrels...

Work More and hunt less!!! ( I'm trying reverse psychology!! The other way never pans out like I want)

Nailed it!!!! Reverse psychology don't work!

However, it's been a great season so far.
1 public land bear in Wyoming and 2 public land deer in Tx.
Also got on a great little lease with good potential!
