Brushing the Dust Off
Since my wife had our daughter last year, obviously she wasn’t doing much hunting…….either was I actually. This year, though, she’s hoping to make it out at least a couple of times. In order for that to happen, though, we had to get her bow back up to speed; it has been sitting on the shelf collecting dust for the last couple of years, and it was time to dust it off and get it back in action.
I met her after work last night, at a local archery shop we discovered recently, and we started the process of getting her bow back in hunting shape. It needs a new string, and the nice gentleman in the shop is going to take care of that for us and have it ready early next week. Sweet!
Our archery season opens up in a little over a month, and we really need to get her shooting before it arrives. I’m confident it won’t take her long to feel comfortable again, but I honestly wish we had more time; that is just the way life goes sometimes, though. Sometimes you just lose track of time……especially when you have kids.
While we’re on the topic it is so nice to have a local archery shop that actually appreciates you. We lost our trusted archery expert a few years ago – he closed his shop – so it’s nice to find another local archery dealer who appreciates your business and has great customer service skills; being knowledgeable as he is, is a bonus as well! If you’re in the Mid-Michigan area I highly recommend Lifford’s archery.
Hopefully the wife will be back in bowhunting action next week. Once the bow is out of the shop we’ll get her back on the 3-D course, and get her shooting; it will feel good to have her back again!

I’ve had the exact same problem–my local archery shop went out of business. Now I have to travel to a large outfitter in Des Moines just to get simple work done (and I’ve found I don’t particularly care for the quality of their work…). I’ve decided to try my best to learn how to set up and tune myself, although it is very difficult to do without all the correct tools. Good luck to your wife on making a full recovery back to the treestand!
With a new string and some retuning with practice I am sure she will be ready to go. Tell her good luck and you as well for me.
Dropping by to wish both of you the best hunting season ever…will be checking in to see which one sticks the first deer!
Hope all goes well for your wife and the rest of the gang at Simply Outdoors!
You are lucky to have a good archery shop nearby. We have none in my county, so it’s always necessary to go way out of my way whenever I need an archery pro.
Good luck getting your wife ready; you’ve got plenty of time.
I think it is wonderful that your wife is able to get her bow all tuned up and ready to go. It is truly a blessing to be able to share time spent in the woods with your spouse. Good luck to you both!!
