Like a few others I enjoy archery and bowhunting.  I also like to ride my road bike, fish a little, spend time with my kids.  This spring I went to a buddys house to check out his maple syrup operation.  I thought that was pretty neat.  I plan on trying to build a sap boiling stove, and doing it myself next spring.

Music:  Still play guitar and sing in a hippie 60s show band.  Gig season starts next week and runs through October.  We'll probably do 15-16 shows this year.  Money from gigs subsidizes next hobby:

Photography:  Started shooting HS sports about 6 years ago and have branched into other areas of interest.  Current gear includes a Canon 5D2 body and several nice lenses.  Shot HS senior pics, love festival type shooting and like to shoot 'small town America' while visiting other towns.

MLB:  Love baseball and going to games.

Hey, I already started this topic.

I'll add to my list. I just got a couple lever action rifles and plan to start hunting. My wife has always been kind of anti-hunting, but she is even more anti big cattle/meat industry (how animals are treated and slaughtered, hormones, antibiotics, etc), so she is now receptive to my getting some natural food. Doesn't get more organic than that!

I know this feeling. My dad was a huge hunter. We never had to buy meat when we went to the grocery store. Downstairs chest freezer was always stuffed with duck, geese, venison, wild turkey, and fresh fish. He passed away a few years ago though, and now I've been considering getting back into hunting to get my hands on the good stuff again.

My apologies for not catching that!

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
