I am sixty-three. I had some rotater cuff problems last year and cracked ribs from a fall this year. Remember you always need to look at it one way. You are only one day older than you were yesterday. 😀

I use a rifle bore brush .270 caliber for my 5/16 id carbon arrows to ruff up the inside of the shaft. Then the alcohol on a q-tip to get it clean. I have been using Bohning Insert Iron to glue the inserts. Just a thought.

My hunting rig is the 5′ x 9′ back packing Eureka tent I bought in 1973 or ’74. I have not used it accept when the kids wanted to “camp” in the back yard over the years. This year, however I am going to the WTA fall hunt and using it to camp. I did buy a new Ozark Mountain twin air mattress this year to go with it.
