No kidding, Muffin!  At least you got shavings you can use for a campfire when you are done, maybe even a bow to shoot something to hang over that aforementioned campfire.  What do they have?  Thumb cramps and bad vision. 

Besides, chicks dig bows.  Or so I have heard, it's not working all that well for me. 
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

I learned and I learned before this forum got started so I didn't have it to ask questions. Y'all be glad you have PA. Yes, I've  broken them even after 23 years. I'm not perfect. I don't like golf anyway.  I also know of pro bowyers who've broken their share. BTW that phrase is designed to make beginners not feel so badly when they do they have a stave break. But I am glad you guys never had the misfortune of breaking a stave or a bow. Good for you. :) Jawge
