Just flying in a helicopter like that would be great fun...
But flying and shooting hogs would be ultimate.

Wonder if they offer hog shootin vacations??
Probably too expensive for us mere mortals.

Here's my bow. This pic is from 2 years ago, but I've had this bow for so long we're like best friends. Matthews MQ32 Solo Cam, Competition Grip. While I have been hunting, I've never killed anything, but glad that I know how. I always look forward to Fall mornings, target practising out back.

This would be nice, however they use Robinson (piston powered) helicopters. If they were to offer a package with a UH-1N and an M-60 as a choice of weapon, I would consider it. Maybe even an Ah-1 Zulu ... I can still remember the fire missions, the anticipation and being scared shitless every time we went up.....

Reminds me of a story told by a guy that had served in the 101st Airborne during the second world war.

When asked how many times he jumped by an idiot in a bar he said never.

When the young punk questioned his answer his reply was.

They pushed me every time!

Yew wood and a string.... 57 lbs @28”.... just got some new Sitka Spruce arrows too...74” tall English Longbow

What do you guys use for a leather forearm guard ?

I don't use a guard.

I feel if you need one you are not holding or have your bow set up right.

I know wearing one is like a helmet or auto insurance. You use it hoping you don't need it but I don't wear one either.

NICE!! I want to get another longbow. It's more sporting.

I wore one for a long time as a safety blanket type thing until I misplaced it one day.

I realized I didn't need it and haven't replaced it.

I shot last week after a couple of months off and felt the string lightly a couple of times.

Just a gentle reminder to not be lazy.
