OO, this guy has no interest at all in archery or hunting either.  He was just drinking with his friends and one of their sons was shooting a bow.  He shot it on a dare.  He said he had a baseball size knot pop up on his fore arm.  I would gladly show him how to shoot a "real bow."  adb, that guy dang near tore it off, looks like.  Bet that was funny!! >:D

Yah... it was funny, but not funny. I felt bad for the guy after I stopped throwing up from laughing so hard! Watching him dance around on his tippy-toes rubbin' his nurp... I couldn't help it.  8)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Nasty, nasty, nasty Greg! Back in the early/mid 80's I hade a Martin with the old tear drop connections on the cables ends. One broke and my arm looked dang close to that after a few days.

My wife was practicing tree stand shooting back in the 90's from the shop roof. Her breast got in the way and it turned the whole thing black with a hint of blue. When I saw it I near cried. Sorry no pic. >:D That was in her wheelie days them things will hurt you but she still shoots today.

That cracked me up, Adam. That description had me visualizing the event. My wife asked me what I was laughing about. ;D
