What do feed them in the park? :~}

By the way Jim I watched a very good show about how Sydney handles their fire and water problems. Gotta hand it to them. Good job.

Anyone have any idea when Rudderbows is going to start selling bows themselves again. As far as I know right now you can only buy through third person companies and I don’t want to. Their website says they’re moving to a new place.

in reply to: Use of Arm Guards-Pros and Cons #56058

Then again, if you have “popeye” forearms like I’ve been accused of having all my life, an arm guard is a mighty good thing to wear to avoid that, when least expected, little sting. Once stung, not forgotten. Really don’t need it most of the time but sometimes I do. The sting usually tells me my string has lengthened some and needs twisted up a couple of turns. Some people shoot their longbows with as low of brace height that they can get away with to get that little bit more speed but one good whapp on the arm ain’t worth that. The difference is really negligible to most of us anyway. So raise it up and go for it. Or wear an arm guard and not worry. You probably gonna need one anyway with long sleeve shirt or a coat.

My 2¢

I don’t always hunt but when I do I prefer me feet on the ground. :lol::lol:

There be those to whom nothing is good enough and then there be those that “there ain’t nothin’ better than what I got”.

Good we have both, the first to seek, improve and refine, the second to perhaps keep the first within the boundaries of tradition. It’s the bending in both directions that keeps us proceeding in and enjoying our spirit of tradition.

in reply to: Fletching Tool? #51746

Ive had a Jo Jan six arrow jig for many, many years. Maybe even a couple of more “manys”. It is adjustable for the amount of helical (I shoot left helical)as well as easily changed from 3 fletch to 4 fletch. I have my own little tweaks and techniques that I use for different 3-4 fletching. Kinda nice sometimes to be build or repairing 3 or fletched arrows at the same time. Me, I have no problem shooting either. Mostly 3 fletch though. Have fun!

Yep, smooth mostly. Doin’ gym 4-5 days a week. Lifting more weight than I ever did (kinda like your marathon running though, didn’t used to do that :~}. Shooting less #’s on my bow and shooting better. Probably would have shot better the last 40 yrs. if I had been shooting some less weight but what is, is what is, what I did, I done. I’m 67 & 10/12’s 😛 and happy everyday cause I’m here and all’s well, pretty much. I still hate turnips!!! We have a friend in the burnunit in Lubbock, not because of burns but because of, look up in Google images, eyrthodermic psoriasis. His whole body like the worst image you can see. We gotta be grateful that our aches and pains are not as his. Ain’t nada wrong with free cokes!!!

Let’s see if my math makes sense:50’s/60’s = 30’s/40’s. Now since I’m way closer to 70 than 60 I’m going for the R2 equation 70’s = 20’s. Might’s well think big! What’cha think Mr. Peterson?? :P:lol:

Ain’t no E=MC² but what the hey! How bout a 70 = 20R2²

Can ya tell I gotta lot to do today 🙂
