About a month ago I started a group on here called KC Arrow Flingers and Fish Stringers . The Fish Stringers part has been dropped so now it is just KC Arrow Flingers The purpose of the site is for the sale and trade of Archery equipment. Since the site has started I have noticed several of my friends to get the archery hunting bug. I am very excited for them and offer help to anyone from my limited knowledge of anything to do with hunting. I hope that after I retire I can enjoy myself by teaching kids about hunting who have not had the opportunity to become exposed to it. Although hunting is not for everyone it does afford some benifits beyond the prideful feeling of providing some food, memories and some cherished photos. I would like to tell you that my every action revolves around my faith in God and that I live the way that Jesus did, but that in itself would be a lie. What I can tell you is that I struggle every day to be what I am supposed to be for my family , my kids, and for myself .I try to reach out to anyone when the situation arises. So for you that do know me,you are not supprised by my random thoughts that I have typed so far but this will all come together (I hope). I am ,by no means, trying to recruit more hunters. After all the less hunters there are , the more land and game for me! The point I am trying to encourage is that it is very hard to get someplace that is thin. What I mean by that is , finding someplace that does not have any influence or distractions on your ability to connect with God. At the very least, I find all of Gods creations when I am in nature. On top of that I have the moments to look at them , and listen to them , smell them and to touch them. When I am in the woods I do not care about my phone, or work, or any deadlines , or projects, or TV shows, money, or that I need to make an appointment to change my oil, or that my laundry is piling up, or that there are dishes in the sink, or that I have phone calls to return. When I am hunting I dont even care about the time (except when its getting close to 1:00 during spring turkey). When I can see to shoot is when I begin and when its to dark to shoot is when I will be done, time makes no difference to me out there. Getting to this thin place gives me a respect for the animals that I am hunting and also makes me a more ethical hunter. When I try to harvest an animal I make sure that it will be a good quick clean kill. I do not shoot to see if it will work. The other 99% of the time I am hunting and not shooting gets me into to this thin place where I can feel close to God and pray without rushing because I feel akward that people are looking at me and they are hungry and want to eat. God gives us every day and blesses us with every breath and some find it hard to give even one hour of worship in a weeks time. God is our father, we are his children and he loves us more than we can understand. Could you imagine after giving and giving and giving to your own child that one day they would turn away from you and ignore your exsistance, and not even aknowledge you. Well.........I cannot! So I would hope that in starting this site that at least one person will go out into the woods and start bow hunting and find thier own thin place with God. A place where there is nothing between you and Him . And if not in the woods , I hope everyone can find thier own thin place where ever you can to get close to God.
