THANK YOU to this great community!
« on: September 08, 2015, 10:34:33 pm »
I don't post a ton, and most are replies as opposed to new threads. But there's a good bit that goes on behind the scenes.

Have been involved in this wonderful/frustrating hobby for only a year. But often seems like years and years due to the welcoming attitude of everyone on PA that I've come in contact with.

So would like to express sincere THANK YOU to this great community. And particular THANK YOU to those who know who you are . . .  >:D

I would have never guessed you have only been doing this for a year by the looks of your bows and the way you shoot them.  I'm looking forward to sharing a camp fire with you next year at the Classic and Marshall.

That's what this obsession is about Mike sharing the wealth

Mike, it's been a pleasure to get to know you bud! I'm proud to have been able to meet you and to have shared camp together. Your a great fella. Before long you will be passing on your knowledge to help someone else.

I feel the same way you do. As a community we lift up those that need help no matter the amount of experience.

I seen somewhere, someone wrote; "when I stop learning put me in a box".

That crap doesn't work with me ol' man. I'm still gunning for you next spring on the 3D course!

How about you celebrate your second year of wood Bows by throwing those carbon arrows in your compound quiver and shooting some real ones! Sorry I could not resist >:D

I'll take the carbons if you don't need them.
