Not sure if this has been posted before. I apologize if it has. Very inspiring. If I screw up the link, just look up "Romancing the Wind" by Ray Bethell on youtube. Six well spent minutes.

I did screw it up. Don't know how to embed a video. Sorry. Just look it up.

It may not be exactly what we expected BUT that man is a real artist with the wind.

Thanks for sharing.

Not the first thing a rifleman thinks of.
It is neat though.

Well, my sister sent it to me, and I was inspired by it. I had to pass it on. :awesome:

He's 86 years old, and holds world records for his kite flying. When he was younger he always thought kite flying was for sissies, but became interested in it later in life. He said, "I do what I love to do because I love to do it." At age 60 a rare virus took his hearing completely away. His wife has advanced Alzheimer's. He said about dealing with life's unfairness, "Your head is your worst enemy." This interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3rK8-39AhQ) is also worth watching.

I apply it to shooting. I want to be the very best I can be, and this man shows exactly how it's done.....passion and long hours of practice.
