It was one of my Dad's and myself last epic adventures together.   There is nothing easy about Alaska, and the thrill of hiking through the Alaskan wilderness with Brown bears and wolves at your heals with nothing but a stick and string is hard to describe.  I dont know if I have ever felt more accomplished about anything hunting related  than that trip.

That us amazing. 

I can’t imagine getting close enough to that monster to take him with a traditional bow.  ....  let alone everything else involved in that adventure.

Mine  was having an instrumental hand it helping turn around silver Arrow Bowmen 15 ish years ago. We went from 33 rundown stawbail target buts to 50 replacing and building the target but frames out of pipe with roofs. Expanded the flat range. Got a new roof on the indoor range. We also went from 50 not so active members to 300 including many family memberships.the rejuvenation now supports several kids shooting clubs. NASP, 4H and others. I'm still only an average shooter but thousands of Archers have benefited from the club I sweated and bleed for.

Nothing like yours, Bone. That must have been an awesome experience. Mine was shooting my first and only elk. It's been a long time ago.

I would say this is mine. Calling in a bull for my first archery kill

That is definitely an accomplishment!  When we lived in Mount Vernon we really enjoyed having the club available and both of our younger daughters loved the youth archery club!

I would have to say my biggest accomplishment was taking a brown bear in Alaska with my bow.  An old sow that wasn't the biggest bear in the area but at 8.5' nose to tail she looked like a Volkswagon beetle at 37 yards!
