Gonna start over, Again

Sounds like me (only you are in better shape).  I've got to laugh at yourself/myself.

three weeks ago I was up 16 foot in a tree with a chainsaw cutting a new tree stand...I actually saw a vision of my obit "Old fart dies in fall from tree after cutting off his leg".  It was raining also.

But more serious, do it get the bow and go.  I think of it this way, in 5 years I'll be saying "Wish I was 51 or 56 or 61 or any age younger than I am.  Boy did I have strength and health then...should have done more back then"  Well, for you and I Rick This is way back then.  Do it, now.  While you still have some lead in your pencil.

I just fot more traps in the mail today, new thing to do for me.  Tomaorrow at 6 am I'll be in my tree stand in the rain, last day of extended archery season.  Since diatetes took my dominate eye, and messed up my other one....I'm hunting with a crossbow....but I'll be there. 

I gave my Matthews bow away, can't shoot right handed (tough enough for me to do it left handed now).  I loved that Matthews, guy I gave it to shot a deer three days later with it.

My motto is do it now....  I'll (we'll) be gumming our Cream of Wheat soon enough and I ain't looking back from the home.

But Hudge, can the $750 Rifle shoot a 28 inch arrow without a bang!

Guess my archery equipment buying days are past.  Still got a Browning from 1967 that won me some decent dollars back then.

But when did archery gear get so high priced?  $750, 400 these seem outrageous when you figure out the manufacturing process and cost!  I also understand from my bow hunting friends that this new stuff usually is sold for 20% in 5 years as the hunters want to have the latest 'stuff'.

Maybe my retirement should be getting into archery manufacturing.

I had a PSE bow, compound dual cam.  Killed some deer with it.  Bought it new (about $170) gave it to my son he killed a few deer and groundhogs with it.  He still uses it.  I guess we got our money out of it (about $15 per deer).  Still shoots good, and the deer doesn't know the brand or model when the arrow slides thru.

Archers must also be golfers, improve your game by buying better ($$$$) equipment?

Looks like I may have to put this off a year now, all my spare money is gonna have to go to a new set of plastic choppers, getting old is not for pussies.
