Making a Commitment
Today I'm making a commitment to you and to myself.
By the time this day is done I will be on the road to becoming the bowhunter I always wanted to be.
Compound or long or recurve? Release or finger-pull? High tech or old school? What's my draw length? What's my draw weight? Sit and wait or stalk? In the air or on the ground?
I don't know.
I hope to know by tomorrow morning.
Sarah and I are taking a field trip today.
Thanks for reading,
B
EDIT: It is NOT going to be today after all. I had made a prior commitment to stick around the house to await an important package and that day just happens to be today. BUMMER!
I'll have to see if I can make it up there later this week.

Furthermore...you should give up your knife collection and donate it to a needy squirrel!
Ahh, the danger of making a commitment and telling everyone about it on the web... ;-)
Boy, no kidding!
I think I've made a few past commitments that I'm still working on fulfilling too...
I hope to make the trip up later this week (or still today if this package comes early enough) so all is not lost...
I have to strike immediately when an opportunity presents itself or I get bogged down with other obligations and things get lost in the shuffle.
It's almost blackpowder season and I should be getting ready for THAT but the timing is right to make the trip (for me) to the archery shop for some much needed guidance and training.

Get a copy of the Traditional Bowyers Bible IV and follow the directions for the board bow. You will have a killer (literally) bow you made yourself and a very useful survival skill also. The book is in most libraries, the wood costs around 5 bucks, how can you lose?
Mike,
Thanks for your comment.
I've owned all of the Bowyers books for quite some time and haven't managed to split out my first stave so I thought I'd start with a commercially available bow and THEN make my own.
Both roads have been slow so far...
:)
Thanks again,
B
