[quote=ausjim]Dave,

I understand that art won’t be rushed, but in this instance I think art is being a selfish jerk and should rush for my benefit :D[/quote

An Aussie infantryman discussing art?:shock:

But I agree:D

Folks I have never seen such a lack of activity on our site. Lets grieve with Dave– and continue the banter that we all enjoy and what enhances our lives. Who knows– might just brighten Dave’s also at this time.

Last week when I became aware of this situation I composed the following thoughts:

What is the best way to meet the loss of one we love? By knowing when we

> truly love it is never lost. It is only after death that the depth of

> the bond is truly felt, and our loved one becomes more a part of us then

> was possible in life.

> Are we only able to feel this toward those we have known for a long time

> – and loved a long time? Sometimes strangers

> known to us for moments can spark our souls for kinship to

> eternity. How can strangers take on such importance to our souls?

> Because our soul does not keep time. It merely records growth.

These may not be original but they come from my journal of past speeches and my heart. If I stumbled on someone’s copy right Gomen. And Linda sent these to Robin a few days ago so mom has blessed.

From the trad family to Dave and Caroline, Belinda and Larry my best wishes.

Sometimes in the thick of the battle it appears that you are about to lose—attack, you really have nothing but victory at the end. And the end can be fleeting as we all know.

Hang tough my friend–take a walk in the woods and give Belinda a hug.

Thanks for that. Still waiting on Clay’s video:D

But I have to tell you that I showed this to Lin and made the comment–I have won some awards in our nation’s service but none so proud to me as seeing our name in the credits of this. How did that happen–and she said “well I know you like this organization so I donated some “. 8)

It brought a tear to this ole warriors face—you all keep up the fight. When possible can provide covering fire.

Good job! again Thanks

Well I meant Doc Ed= doc a. Nice to hear that Dave concurs that anything we can do to ensure an ethical kill is money well spent. Not that I have a lot of that but it is nice to be reinforced when you decide to purchase quality stuff that it is backed up by your informed guidance.

Thanks Joe and Dave.

Yes, but I keep a record of mine and it’s the first one this century. Only had one last century and it started with “I swear” trying to not make those error’s in my waning years:D

Back on trad thread–for mom–I shot my bow today:D

Joe

Finesse to a Marine means get a bigger hammer:D

Seriously—as I understand–left or right wing means no difference in arrow performance as long as you match the bevel to the feather?

Therefore based on this bit of knowledge I will order my next set for right wing and corresponding bevel on the 300tuffheads I will order from you–in the near future.

Come to think of it that could explain why I always have to tighten your brass target points when I pull them out. “Righty tighty”.

Darn good bit of knowledge, that may ensure that ethical kill we want.

And no I won’t return the heads as they are matched to my “lefty lossee” left wing arrows.:D

Damn fine customer service.

I believe in another thread Hammer made the comment “these comments require further scrutiny, probably by a professional.” I disagreed, I was wrong:shock:

Don’t believe I will be kayaking or boating with ausjim or Dave. You can just imagine their conversation when the croc appears or the great white:roll:

Makes sense–I hope someone like Doc A , Dave, Troy, or Moe says something. So why did you sell me left bevel tuffheads without this little tidbit of info?:evil:

I’m getting ready to order some new arrows,carbon, and 300tuffheads and was gonna get my standard left wing–so your saying right wing may remove another point of failure?

Mark–good point. How about “Mom” I believe even in the general ranks the only thing higher is “the lovely wife” and I believe Robin holds both of those.

As to responsibility–Mom, I have found it a good practice when these types of free spirits gather to just turn away at appropriate times –then your not a party to the investigation:lol:

But Stch we have to consider Dave’s aversion to boats–can we shoot the flying carp when they land?:roll:

We better let this one rest for awhile and wait for some more informed input.

You all are a breath of fresh air:D

From what I understand –nope. I think it was in T.J.’s book where this is addressed. Something about right wing being sold out because all right handed shooters needed that and then only left wing were available. Just match the bevel of the broad head to the fletching. When you think of it makes good sense–I mean the turkey fly’s with both wings:D

:lol::lol: Boat monkey’s in boats with pointed weapons shooting flying carp:D After the night campfire—need local constabulary buy in and lot’s of bail money.

At least the location is central so all would travel about equal distance.

We have lot’s of time so will wait for more input.

One idea I have is AusJim must be included so we need to know his travel plans in 015 and of course we need Elkheart.

And Web-mom.
