What are your thoughts about this? I know there was a short time that I thought maybe better gear makes a better archer, but now I think as long as you have a decent bow and set of arrows, you can get great results just putting the time in and making them an extension of yourself.

The old timers that I new usually had a catch fraise that they used as sort of a signature. For instance Floyd Eckelson's was. "Keep em sharp" short and to the point Ha ha. The sharpness of our tools is fundamental in the ethical pursuit of archery hunting. Likewise I feel that being honest with one's self with respect to the effective range that you are capable of is as fundamental. After all we ear talking about ethical behavior.

Its been over a month since i did a bad sprain on my ring finger of my string hand. Finally able to start getting some shots in on my longbow again, not a tonne but some. Cant use my heavier bows yet, just the light ones but that's progress. Getting to anchor felt impossible the first two sets but once I was able to get there was nice to see I still got it, was getting two inch groups from 15. Starting a physio archery training program soon. Starting to realize I need a bit more upkeep as the years go 😆
