The Story is Getting Better...
of my 2008 Bowhunting season. Some of you may remember the story I posted a while back about my brother wanting to start bowhunting with me. Well it is starting to come together. I thought for a few days it may never happen, but now it is working out. A huge Thank You goes out to a couple of HNI members for helping to make this happen. You know who you are.
First hurdle was a bow. Well my brother was not in the best of shape with his archery muscles, so I had my bow turned down to 50lbs. He could draw it and shoot really comfortably with it. A few adjustments and he is now hitting a coffee can at 20yds pretty consistantly. Now, I have to find him a 50lb bow within my/our budget. Not so easy when you want something with a fair amount of quality. So, anyway, I say, wait a minute, I am seeing all these 60 to 70lb bows in my budget, so why not just give him my bow, and buy another for me to shoot. Done deal. Now he will be shooting my '06 Equalizer and I will be shooting an '06 Allegiance. ( Another Huge Thanks goes to the guy who gave me a steal of deal on the Ally.)
So anyway, after 23 yrs I finally have my old hunting partner back. Sure does feel good too.
I know, he is still working on the form. I am trying to help.

RE: The Story is Getting Better...
Glad to hear that. Good luck to the both of you. I'm sure if your like me youd wish him better luck. My hutting buddy hasn't killed a deer with a bow so I'm working real hard on getting him his first bow kill.
