Old dude still shooting

#1 Post by dougedwards »

Hey guys! My name is Doug and I am still attempting to competively shoot and hunt with a stick bow after dominant arm rotator surgery and it gets tough to do. I love the purity of the sport and will hang in there as long as possible.

My passion is sharing the good news of God's surpassing love shown through His grace toward us in Christ Jesus. I have four grandchildren who challenge my energy level and who I love very much.

I am encouraged to participate with this venue in many different categories.

Welcome sir. Grab a stump by the fire and stay awhile. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you. In the mean time what kind of bows do you have??

Sold most of them but have held on to a 64" Leon Stewart Slammer longbow 3-piece @38# and a 64" ILF recurve with 19" Tradech Pinnacle II riser and Kaya KStorm long limbs (34# on a 25" riser). Was shooting a 21st Century longbow @ 47# before shoulder surgery. Can't hold that much weight any longer. But it's all still fun.

Welcome, Doug! Really glad to see you here. Looking forward to sharing much with you and hope you will make this forum your new home.
I'd love to see pix of that ILF rig. We have a saying here..."no pix, it didn't happen"... 8-)
