Yip, I can hit a slow moving target about the size of a paper plate at 15Yards.

I am learning to shoot instinctively (No sites). My aim is to a bare minimum bow that doesn't require tinkering in the field. I will alway carry a spare string and bow wax on trips but that is it. Much like cycling the more part you have the more that can go wrong. It is very rewarding to hit the target and get a tight group with no sites.

Yeah my Trad Recurve is 45# at 28" draw, though my draw is 31" so I am probably pulling between 50# and 55#. The bow was impossible to draw when I started last year so I practiced on a cheap 25# recurve. Now I draw that 45# like it's nobody's business. Form is everything and using back tension is key. I will switch to compound when I am too old to draw a recurve. But while I am young-ish and strong I wanted to take up the challenge. Enjoy your hunt in June, nothing wrong with using a rifle, it gets the job done!

I am not a fan of hiding though I would only do this for Turkey. When it comes to deer I will be attempting the spot and stalk approach as I did when hunting Kudu. They am is to keep moving as it gets mother effing cold here and I don't want to sit all day in the snow waiting for game to come my way. I fly between 40 and 80 arrows daily at 15-20 yards for practice. Though I feel comfortable at 15 yards I would prefer 10 yards for a vitals shot. I will keep practicing and hunt for whitetail deer in the spring. Fred Bear who has hunted just about everything on four legs, claims whitetail deer are the hardest to kill with a bow, as they don't trust anything. So I will also be practicing my stalking skills with a friend.

Yes I follow them on YouTube though I am more a fan of Fred Bear!

If you hunt to harvest then yes! Every hunter should buy a chest freezer before they buy a hunting tool! Learn to skin before they learn to shoot. I had it easy in SA, I used a rifle 30-06 to down Kudu and springbok and paid the farmer workers make nice meat packs to take home. Now I use a traditional recurve bow and will have to field dress my own game all while not getting killed by a bear. My first Canadian hunt will be in spring this year.

Hope all is well boet. Have a great year!

Lake make an excellent shoe for wide feet. I have been struggling with numb feet when cycling for more than 3 hours. Once I switched to Lake shoes it changed everything. My feet don't even get cold when the temps drop to below freezing as blood is circulating. As long as I wear merino wool socks and a good overshoe alls well.

Getting stronger with my new archery hobby. Plan is to get deadly accurate with my Browning Nomad recurve 45#, 60". Will start with hunting Snowshoe rabbits and then White tail deer. It would also be great to bag my first turkey for thanksgiving 2021.

My first bike and first Cape Argus 2011. The night before I thought I would make sure everything was screwed on tight and noticed a loose skrew on the rear derailleur. The next day going I couldn't shift into the high gear.

Song about Bill Barilko, a missing Canadian hockey player. Love the vocals.

Fake or real I would never ride pinas!

This happened to me once on Woodstock Main Rd. Early Saturday morning a woman/neanderthal leaned out to slap me on the ass and hit my back instead. People laughing like wild donkeys in the car.

I fixed a creak that came from an unexpected place. It sounded like it came from the BB but I knew that it could been from somewhere else. After looking many areas of probable cause it turned out the my front skewer was dirty and not tight enough on the wheel.
