[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2682413, member: 124909"] It is exciting. I did it with my wood bows. I thought about crossbows but honestly don’t even get very excited over compound bows. I probably could pull a compound back if I had too but I miss the traditional bows. After breaking my back in a treestand accident, I couldn’t walk without assistance for 3.5 years. 9 major operations followed. I can walk unassisted now but still have limitations with walking, sitting, standing, and spasms. I don’t have the stamina. I certainly don’t belong in a treestand now. I don’t have a lot of help if I do shoot something. At the same time I don’t want to be a burden on someone else. I lost a lot of my lust for hunting after my fall. The other side of a fall like that is financial. The paycheck stops coming but the bills do not. I can’t lease those great places to hunt now. Doesn’t mean I don’t miss it though. But it taught me some things. I’m more happy just to be here now and I certainly appreciate the little things more. Maybe one day I will be able to get back into it. There’s nothing else like it. Don’t ever take it for granted. [/QUOTE]
