April afternoon Traditional archery bowhike, April-6-2011

Another beautiful day at the archery club. Some days I can't wait to get to the woods. Once I get my vehicle parked I go into s l o w mode so I can relax, enjoy the day and not think about anything else. I really appreciate the fact that this facility and these woods are so accessible, right here in the city. And today, I had the entire facility all to myself. How good is that!

Jim Thanks for that, I felt like I was taking a relaxing walk with you!

Very nice video! I'm a subscriber now you encourage me to try harder with my videos! I'm totally new to videos don't know how to edit them and stuff. What do you use to edit your videos?

Thanks Again,

Chuck

@Huntinfool Thanks for the comment and watching. My video editor is CuberLink PowerDirector ver 8. I have a pretty old PC setup with 32 bit Windows XP so I can't make use of ver 9.

@Woodenarrows I'm lookin' into getting some new edit software not sure yet what I'm getting but my camera is a new Panasonic 14 MP Hybrid HD with a 24X zoom Leica lens.

I have XP also keep up the good work!!

@Huntinfool I used Windows Movie Maker before but it won't read the file formats of my newer cameras. I've been real happy with PowerDirector. If you go to the CyberLink website you can download a free 30 day Trail version. I may be picking up a Panasonic compact HD this fall. They have a AA battery model due around Oct-Nov

Excellent shooting from behind the camera and bow! How's your shoulder feeling Jim?

[Woodenarrows]

@wawhiker It seems to be holding up with the heavier weight. I did drop back to 45# this past 3 weeks or so. I’ve been shooting 40# the past year, which was plenty comfortable. The 50# bow, although shootable, is still too much for long periods of shooting. There is a balance point of between overstressing the nerves and causing damage again or being ok and letting the nerves continue to regenerate. Think of doing 45-50# one arm pullups with a dumbbell :-)

Thanks for the tip Jim this is my 2nd Panasonic. I got a newsletter form them or Amazon maybe about their new AA rugged camera coming out. It's supposed to be water resistant and all kind of good stuff.

Again Thanks for your great videos my wife is picking up some wool yarn for me right now after church!

@Woodenarrows Thank-you Sir ....Good info I already did scrape my hand with the quill of the feather ...so your advise is very sound ...I think I might put a small arrow rest using a golf tee so that way at least I will shoot more consistently ..Thanks again !
