Tomorrow will be my life coming full circle. As I have mentioned on here several times that I had shot a bow for many years, and a long time had passed and my passion for shooting was re-ignited last fall. Well tomorrow will be my first 3d tournament in about 15 years. I was a 3d addict, my buddy and I would shoot 2 or 3 a weekend if the distances weren't to far from each other. Then events that were very personal for me got in the way. My sister passed and the last time I saw her was at a family reunion that I didn't want to go because there was a tournament to go to, but reluctantly did . My children were growing up and two sons very involved in sports, and 4H had me using all of my spare time for that. My wife became ill and had a steady decline in health until she passed 5 years ago this month. I lived in the bottle for a couple of years and then I met the angel that I'm married to now. I quit drinking for the most part last fall. I also quit smoking at the same time. To fill that space I got my bows out, and thats when it grabbed ahold of me like we had never been apart.
I'm trying to set realistic goals for tomorrow I haven't had to judge yardage in several years. All of my hunting is within 15 yards. I'm very competitive (I couldn't sleep after the little league teams I was coaching lost a game), and I deal with a very ugly form of target panic.
Can't really say why I'm typing this, not really looking for a Dr. Phil moment or anything. Guess just wanted to say I'm shooting in a 3D tournament tomorrow. See ya out there. John
