The Bow is my Nemesis! � I shall want no other! It maketh me lie down in green pastures, stumble thru woods, crawl thru swamps, straddle fences, and climb trees�

It leadeth me beside still waters, thunderous waterfalls, roaring rivers, turbulent streams and treacherous rapids�

It restoreth my faith in rifles, pistols, shotguns, and Russian roulette.

It leadeth me in the paths of thunder storms, cyclones, blizzards, hurricanes and tornadoes�

Yea, though I struggle thru seasons and tournaments, I fear no beast or opponent for my dependable bow is always with me�

Its arrows, they comfort me, enrage me, drive me to drink, fight with my wife�

It preparest a thirsty and hungry life before me like no other enemy�

It anointest my head with migranes, my fingers with sore blisters and my arm with bruises�

My bow, I love it, it shooteth my arrows all over�

Surely, it�s unconquerable temptation will follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in its clutches and wretchedness forever.

Clean Kill or No Kill, Lord

0 Lord, I am a hunter
And life I seek to take
But let me not attempt the shot
Beyond my skill to make
For Lord they are your creatures
Given for our use
But each one falls within your sight
They're not for our abuse
And when I loose my arrow
Please guide it swift and true
Or let it miss completely, Lord
That pain be not undue
A clean kill or no kill, Lord
Such is my heart's desire
Give me the skill to make it so
Or let me hold my fire
And when my time upon this earth
The days they are fulfilled
Grant that I may die at least
As clean as those I killed
 
A BOWHUNTER'S PRAYER TO DIANA

Oh Silvery Huntress of the Night!
Diana of the pale moonlight!
Oh Goddess of the Silver Bow
Smile on your humble child, below
Come now to me and be my guest,
And aid me in this hunt...my quest!

In this endeavor, grant success
Grant me patience - grant kindness
Watch over me and guide my steps -
As I walk into the forest's depths.
Protect me from all injury
And close beside me, always be.

Aid me as I track the deer
Through brush and thickets, far and near
When it comes time to draw my bow
Grant me accuracy, here below
Guide my arrows with speed and skill
Grant painless death and swiftest kill

Silvery Huntress, I am your child...
I hunt your forests, free and wild.
Bless this hunt, I ask of thee
Oh Great Diana, hear my plea
Goddess of Wild Ones and the Night!
Bless my table with food tonight!

Me too but was trying not to offened

I find the first one to be sac-religionst(sp?). I dont agree with changing the Psalms.

I like the second one. the third one makes me smile because my wife's name is Diana.

Amen to that!

In the name of the father, son and holy backstraps (Lord I apoligize about that).

Is is wrong to reply to a marginally sacrilegious post? :D
