Yep David, there are those who think out of the box and are a useful and functional part of society while living their expanded view of life and not interfering with others. Then there are those so radical, self centered and far out they never know the box exists.

I’m thankful for those I share and have shared life with. Those I know and those I have known. Even those I’ve known and not liked. Each is and has been a lesson for me.

Good yesterday to attend a 3-D tourney in a neighboring town, all wheel bow shooters, and they had a very interesting shoot, well set stakes for we visiting trad fellas, and very friendly towards us and interested in our way of doing things.

A couple of the guys actually remembered that I was one of the founding fathers of their club ,shhh!!!!, way many years ago.

If the time period means anything, about the time Mr. Allen attached a couple of wheels and cables to a set of bow limbs is when we getting that new club going. 🙂

Doc, I blend in well if your looking into the sun.:) Maybe we need a good eraser here? 😉

It would be interesting to see the paradox of one of those long arrows in flight. They might be so close to the intended that there’s not much time for paradox to get started??????????

Thoughts?

Thankful I didn’t get smacked today.

One of the premiere wheel bow fellas was sitting cross legged on the ground amongst a tangle of cables, strings, wheels, limbs and whatnot’s. He looked a bit unhappy. Since he has been a friend for many years I thought I’d help him out, “Hey Mike, I got a spare string if you wanna borrow it”. Man he didn’t take too kindly to that.

I decided a timely departure was in order.

Went stumpin this morning.

I believe this guy was telling me who that belonged to that he was sitting on.

People been sneaking in the back part of the archery range and using 4 wheelers illegally. Our recent rains sure make the damage they can do shine out.

Bet you find plenty of archers in Utah.:D

Ain’t much that tastes worse than one’s pride just before one swallows it, uh? 😀

Been there with yoga. It’s not meant for things to bend like that.

OK folks, nuffs enuff!!!!!!!!

I am definitely tired of this target panic crap I’ve been fighting for a year or more.

I’m putting things down, revamping my pea brain and starting as a new student. I know all the supposed cures but none are effective till the brain disengages from the shot process. I need to Zen the deal, get it out of the right side and let it flow through the left. Funny though, when stumping I rarely miss. Right now though I’ll leave the critters alone till I get over this malady.

I got into this aim while drawing, shooting then faking a hand trip by an anchor point. Aim, draw, shoot, anchor is very sporadic when it comes to getting an arrow where one intends for it to go rather than arrow going to where it’s pointed.

Anyway, newbie here for awhile. 😉

It’s hard on one’s pride when you look at your wall of fame filled with trophy’s, pins, awards etc. and now last place is nearly out of reach.

Never give up, just take another approach. 😀

Never unhappy, just a bit peeved now and then.

I just figured you took a likin’ to building arrows and came upon a small fortune to buy all those feathers with. :D:D

Cameron, there’s some good info out there in other places besides some of the BS. I learned how to tie two different types of movable nock sets by watching videos from another place. Also building confidence in my string making. It can be a little unnerving to string a bow and draw it back with the first flemish string you ever twisted up :D.

The beauty of here is the bickering is in jest, the info is real and our web mom keeps us kind and understanding.:wink:

Morels? Morals? I’m sure the latter and I might have been in somewhat of a questionable nature in my youth after a pint or two too many of the brewsky, but these things I took a picture of look rather “immorel” 😀 to me. These things looked way nasty when I shoveled them out.

Sorry picture not quite the quality I wanted.

It’s good they come by every now and then.

Maybe I oughta be a little sweeter and they’ll come by more often. :D:D

Bruce I been dried and pruned too many days, the type of quiver you have pictured? I want to order one methinks.
