Archery is seeing how far you can get from your target, Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get to your target.

He's well on his way!   When are you gonna start your own bow?  ;)

Looks really good.  I wish my first bow looked that good...
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Hell yeah, nice bends on your first bow! I gotta say I love your sig line quote.   8) I haven't seen that one before.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thanks CMB, that was the best way I could tell people the difference when they ask.
