Another Addict......not me this time.
« on: November 01, 2008, 11:51:58 pm »
There is a retired fellow who helps me out in the shop, allows me to take a half day off once in a while.......well, he has been looking at the bows I have been making, figured he could do that too.   So ,  off to Home Depot and two weeks later is out in the back yard, shooting.   Called me up to tell me it was done and sounded like a kid on Christmas Morning!!   

This addiction is catching.   A friend of his wants to try it now. 

Is there a medicine for this?   Like a flu shot or something?   heh heh heh

cheers, piper

No medicine yet but once the drug companies find out about it there will be ;D
Glad to hear your friend is having fun with it. Nothing better than that first shot from the first successful bow.

The only medicine for this is to go and harvest some staves and comence to shaving and bending.   Danny

My daughter now has the bug, at least to shoot Daddy's bows.   That's cool, another family activity. 

Here are a couple of pics.    She was home from college this weekend and got out of the house twice with my light bow.   I learned, much to my surprise, that she had archery in High School and really has missed shooting!!   The things we learn about our kids, it's amazing.   

I'm not sure the posture is just right, but she's having fun.   Note the arrow, streaking away in flight in the last pic!!

The way they are taught iin schools and accredited courses, her posture is just fine as long as she is hitting what she is shooting at.

Yesterday they were all over the 3x5 cardboard I have on the shed.   Today they were in the 9" x 12" colored paper she hung up.   If she was shooting again tomorrow I'd be betting on her.   Ah, to be young again, when learning was easy.
