Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Great tag line, Dave....

On that note, I strung up a long unused 40# bear bow that was a friends' Dad's and given to me with understanding it doesn't get sold.

I had it tuned to 2016's with 100 gr. points...Due to shoulder rehab, I'v enot shot but with my more recent exercises, I started mimicing drawing with thera bands and a few ole glass "gym class bows" by YORK and BEN PEARSON...

So I get invited to hunt a guy's land... bowhunt... My bow is out to the bowyer on the left coast for a new set of semi static limbs at 38# vs. my lb limbs at 47#...

I started a thread on friends that do great things where a guy loans me his 35# samick with arrows till my shoulder heals...but it arrives via USPS tomorrow.

Today I string the BEAR bow up... check google on 2016 spine, and try some .400 spine with heavy front weight and WALLA...they're deadly out to my self imposed limit of 20 yards...shot like a dozen shots and the shoulder aches, but I don't expect to shoot more then one at a deer!

I'll say that I feel very blessed and loved that I am again able to shoot, even low poundage bows and realize how much it means to my sanity... or as David's tag line says, it clears my troubled mind... :)

I might not get to hunt till next week, but soon! I'm grateful for that and offered to fletch arrows for the landowner who invited me. he shoots those "other" bows but showed a lot of interest in my stick bows when here last week... might have a convert in the making!

Sore as I am, I might wish to limit the shooting much as possible, but I know I have a combo I can string up and take hunting...

Next Thursday to see the Doc and he's so conservative, he may not yet SAY I can shoot a bow, but hey... I've been very compliant until now... :o

I've had the Lord say "NO" to me much of the time, but in hindsight, he's always taken pretty good care of me in spite of some bad luck

Even in my youth I know the Lord answers in one of three ways. Thinking in this mindset helps me with the nos. God answers our request in one of three ways. Yes, not right now, and I have something better.

:) like the country song about "unanswered prayers" at the high school reunion?! 8-)

I won't know why for all the "no's" but several have come clear in this realm and for that I'm grateful....
