shot myself to a nub
 

I leave in 5 days. I have been shooting two or three hundred arrows a day. My left shoulder is shot :cry: . I'm so pumped about Africa I can't quit shooting. The more I shoot the poorer I shoot. I know better :wink: I need to quit for 4 or 5 days and let my shoulder heal but how do I stop this close to a hunt. It is funny how a man can know better but have so little control over hisself :?

Don't sweat it Marty - It'll all come to you when it's crunch time! Good luck.

Haha, you just have to make yourself stop. Good luck to you. Hope you get everything on your list.

this afternoon was like watching a train wreak. I was so frustrated I could not even remember how to shoot my bow at all. I was so tired I almost couldn't get my bow to full draw. Then once I got it back I was sweating so bad I couldn't hold on to it. Total Melt down :roll: . I went back out tonite and shot 12 arrows with a clear head. Pulled them all with one hand.

who was that decided that I needed to start shooting 74 pounds for Africa any way?? :shock:

I think it was Chris, TradAg. You can blame him since he's so young... :twisted: Or, Bullrdr! Now, there's a likely candidate. The young guys DO need to take responsibility for more things. :lol:

Aw, just blame 'em both. :twisted:

I feel your pain brother!!!!
I had to force myself to put down the recurve because my elbow was killing me! Like you I started spraying arrows everywhere! I havent shot it in over a week now!
I broke my Bob Lee out a few months ago after not shooting it for a couple of years. When I planned my trip to Africa I thought how cool it would be to take it with me, so i started shooting. MAN!!! It sure is fun shooting traditional!!
I still have a few weeks to go so I will be picking her back up soon.
Good luck on safari and looking forward to the report!!

Now wait a second here Tracy.... I do not even shoot Trad!!!

I guess if someone has to be blamed, then I will take it!! :D You know me, always there to take one for the team.

Good luck in Africa Marty..... I know you will connect with something. Just remember when that gold medal animal walks out who your most favorite "Son-in-Law" is and keep that arrow in your quiver... I dont want to get blamed for anything else!!! :lol: :lol:

Just send me all your bows and arrows that might help you stop! :)

Just do it like this...:wink:

the look on his face after the first shot is about how I was looking yesterday :oops:

With all the killin' you do around here I can't see that being a problem for you Buff.

Don, you headed to Africa this year too?
