Stomach shot
The ground dried up enough to give this shot a try. Never would have thought to try this before @Grant Richardson made his post the other day. Definitely want to practice it some more, this could be a very useful shot to have in your arsenal! Disclaimer: this was my 5th attempt. The other 4 still hit the target, just not where they were supposed to.😂

Reading
My copy of The Code of Traditional Archery showed up yesterday! Just finished rereading Instinctive Shooting by G. Fred Asbell, so, perfect timing!

I just recently finished reading tales from the trail about tracking deer in swamps learned quite a bit of new things to try with the next animal i shot. i also like the book the 'the old bowhunter" by Chester Stevenson.
Mental Drills
Had to spend two weeks away from the bow due to work travel. Tried to do mental and notional drills every day. Looking forward to launching some arrows this coming week. I’ll report back on how I ease back in just using mental maintenance the last two weeks.

i usually try to practice the focus drills grant talks about while traveling. it helps to keep my mind relaxed and focused on shooting
finished my smokehouse
Made a s smokehouse out of cedar and old woodstove. Then I did my first elk kielbasa I got the elk from a rifle hunt, i did last year.

so I had a tall request from my wide to recreate the memory she had of a smoked kielbasa her grandfather used to smoke over the coal fired stove in his kitchen. I originally wanted to start with a brick firebox but that was too costly So instead I found a used woodstove to use as the firebox. I cleaned up the woodstove and did some maintenance of new rope to seal the door and then i had friend fab up the metal frame for the the pipe from stove to smoker to come out under. i then made the smokehouse 3ft x 3ft with a roof. i have a damper between the stove and chamber to help regulate heat and smoke as needed. i also have a chimney of a cedar shake that i can slide out to help with draft.

Bonus from work
Started with a new company back on Dec. 8th. Got the 1st installment of my sign on bonus Friday. It was taxed pretty heavy, but I was able to get a Barronett Big Mike blind that I can shoot my longbow out of, some more feathers, wraps and a new arrow gripper for my quiver. Also able to join both my state archery clubs, Michigan Traditional Bowhunters and Michigan Longbow Association, Compton Traditional Bowhunters and PBS. Always exciting to get some goodies! Now it’s back to work again and if I continue to be good, I’ll get a safe driver bonus in July. I’ve already got a list going!🤣
