It has been said that bowhunting is what separates the men from the boys. Success only comes to those who put in a lot of time and effort. This has been a tough season for me because my time has been very limited. I am hoping that next season will be better. A couple of [...]

Have you ever shot a compound bow? If you have, then you know that most people shoot at ramges from 10 to 40 yards. In fact, hitting a bullseye at 40 yards is down right respectable and something that any archer would be darn proud of. But what about a 200 yard shot? What? Yes, [...]

Archery season opened early this year on Oct. 1. It usually opens on Oct. 15. People have different philosophies when it comes to bowhunting. Some folks will take any deer that comes along, which is fine. To each their own. My son harvested a doe in Hinsdale a couple of weeks ago. My bowhunting philosophy is [...]

As an avid outdoorsman, I really enjoy young people following these same pursuits that I hold dear to my heart. My feeling is that kids who get involved with archery, shooting and hunting have a far better chance of not becoming involved with illegal drugs. That’s just my opinion. My neighbor Dave Kozlowski thinks the [...]

Earlier this week, I wrote a blog about archery which ended up resulting in a lot of phone calls and emails about archery. Seems like we have a lot of WYRK listeners who are also involved with the hobby. This is great because sometimes I feel like we archers make up a very small segment [...]

One of my many hobbies is archery. It’s been a passion of mine for a lot of years. I even got my son into the hobby and he enjoys it as well. Sometimes I wish there were more hours in the day so I could practice a bit more. I have always wondered why more [...]

Remember back in the day when kids would sit around doing “trick” shots in basketball. Well, the idea has evolved. They still put the ball through the hoop in a “trick” fashion. Only now, the ball is delivered with an arrow. If you like archery, you might like this video. Poor panda…
