I thought it would be fun to record the ups and downs of my first attempt at bow-hunting!
So I'll start at the begining...A few years ago I was working construction and had a big dual compound miter saw and a rolling stand. After a left that area of work I decided to try and sell the saw on a local website.
No luck, no one wanted to buy it. :-(
So, I decided to try and trade it for something. I was able to trade it for a handgun! It was cool!
.17 caliber Taurus, yep smaller than a .22 but BANG that thing was L-O-U-D !!! So I shot a couple of handfuls of ammo through it but it wasn't really something that I wanted or could use.
So ...I set off to the web again...and was able to trade it for a flat bottom jon boat with a trolling motor and battery. Nice trade I thought.
So... I decided I didn't need the boat! Back to the web I went....and traded the boat for a shotgun!! Woot! ;-)
Nice ain't it!?! Now I'm ready to start my career in deer hunting......Not so fast...there aren't too many areas around my house that I can shoot a shotgun! :-(
Then I got an idea. I was reading in a sporting magazine about a guy that was bow-hunting on a small strip of land between a neighborhood and some soccer fields!
Genius!!!
There are a slew of deer near my house in big wooded areas nestled between several subdivisions.
So... back to the web I go, (ain't the internet grand!)...This time I traded the shotgun for a compound bow with a case, trigger release, fiber optic sight, drop away arrow rest and three arrows with broad tip heads!!!!! Rock and roll baby!!
One problem..I have never shot a compound bow!! :-o
Off to the pro-shop I go just to make sure this bow is going to hold up and do what it's supposed to!!! After several impatient trips to the pro shop I was able to bring my new bow, with some new arrows and arrow heads and a short stop at Wally-world for a styrofoam target, home!!
Honestly i do not think I have been this excited about anything in a while!
