Wrench, just admit it, you got tired of waking up before 9am. 

Well that's a given 👍  

I've always found fish and wildlife easier to pattern in the afternoon/evenings.  And although I did hunt both mornings and evenings when I was big into it, the morning hunts were a waste of time more often than not.   Except for turkeys....Turkey hunts are definitely a morning thing.

Early season mornings are a waste of time in my opinion. Mid season morning is great. Rut obviously all day. Late season it goes back to evenings.

I agree. See the little local herd out in the backyard more between 11am and 3pm than i do mornings. That’s until mid October comes. 
 

Careful on this section of the forum. You might get the archery itch, like you did the airgun bug. But if you do, we can make more bro dates.

Been there/done that.   When the tornado ate all of my archery stuff, and insurance paid for it handsomely, I decided not to replace any of it.  3D shoots were winding down to where nobody was having them anymore, and I was tired of chasing the whitetails around here.   I'd rather fish while everyone else is hunting.

Went to a 3D shoot today around Eldorado Springs. After over 20 years of it, i still enjoy flinging arrows.

Stop it!  😖 

Had an Oneida Eagle with an overdraw that was wicked fast with 2213 shafts. That was my 3D bow.

An original Golden Eagle laminate limb round wheel that was the smoothest shooting bow I've ever pulled. Indoor leagues and when I wanted to show off.

And A Hoyt Raider with overdraw that was my wood chopping, behind the seat beater, that never let me down.   Always sighted in with broadheads.

I get the itch occasionally, but it passes.   

Had a blast this afternoon shooting persimmons off the tree in the front yard with the P-rod.    2 knives and a spoon....if you're wondering. 😊

I do still have my release.  FreeFlight wrist strap.  I bet they don't even make them anymore.

We need to get together and shoot some small lead still. That tree plinking sounds fun

 Doubtful. That things as old as yo...aww nevermind. 
 

Those Oneida bows warped into killer bow fishing bows. 
 

Shot my Bowtech Realm today. Kinda special bow to me for sentimental reasons. Usually shoot my Hoyt Carbon. 
 
Took this picture today while at the shoot.

3" plastic veins hu?   

I've never shot carbon shafts, and was tought that "feathers were meant to fly".  😉

[Ketchup]

Yes sir. 
 

there were some traditional guys there shooting feathers, but these new bows shoot so fast, the feathers would just fly off the shaft. 😜
