        You might be a traditional bowhunter if:

        You buy Duco Cement by the case but prefer to get high on the scent of cedar.

        No blade you own is ever really sharp enough.

        They can take your knees before you’ll voluntarily give up your hearing and binocular vision.

        Stumps are what you notice most about a forest.

        You still don’t own quite enough woolen garments.

        You know more about the maddening habits of red squirrels than is healthy for a human to know.

        Your turn.

          Chickens wear feathers, turkeys wear fletchings.

            When you look at a wing feather you know if it came from the right or left

                Arrows, Arrows, everywhere. Do they breed?

                  Fire a hundred cartridges at clays and never give it a second thought but spend a whole afternoon hunting for one lost arrow.

                    Just last night, I told my wife: “All over the country, people are making arrows this evening just like I’m doing right now. And their spouses are saying to them, ‘Don’t you have enough arrows by now?'”

                      Refuse to be caught in the field or woods without your bow .

                        You spend more time than a clan Scotsman scrutinizing wool plaid patterns.

                        You take your bow for hikes.

                        You think a ‘range finder’ is acquired, not purchased, and you don’t need to find an extra pocket to carry it in.

                        You’d rather watch “Backcountry College” than the Outdoor Channel.

                        You have fun with your bow year-round. 😉

                              Well Linda said to add

                              “You would rather spend time on Trad bow then take her out to dinner and dance”

                              You consider your library complete when you have all of Dave Petersen’s books

                              You only have 5 bows and need to keep up with the Smith Hammers.

                                  Oh I should have added

                                  You have all of Don Thomas’s books except for the “Double Helix” which Linda refuses to spend that much on.

                                  You listen to Alex Bugnon Cd’s.

                                    Come late summer you’re looking for places with hair to shave since you’ve shaved it all off you arms while sharpening broadheads. 😉

                                              R2,

                                              Are you saying brother, that you lack confidence on shaving a gal’s leg with your freshly sharpened BH and NOT drawing blood??? Tsk, tsk!

                                              Push, don’t swipe! LOL:D:lol:

                                              Never could develop the tolerance for burning feathers.. I chop all mine or have them chopped by Matt Gundock in OH.

                                                    But now fallguy…R2 and I are talking about shaving LEGS…no intimacy issues there… and it’s R2’s wife for goodness sake…

                                                    Does explain why he’d be concerned with “blood letting”… not holding still while testing sharpness could be hazardous to HIS health!

                                                    From what little exchange I’ve had with Robin, my bet is she’d fall on the floor laughin…

                                                    Letting someone else shave hair on your leg would be like letting someone else touch your FEET! Or put in contacts! Yikes!:shock:
