No surprise to me

Of course you have always been my ride home

Holy shitbat-man!! It is too fargin late now for two reasons, but that is one good idea!

I gave my son, Puck, about $1500 worth of my ocean-submersible metal detection stuff last year. Every arrow has a metal tip. <-- It weighs exactly what a razor-tip hunting point does. Never occurred to me to use my metal detector to try to find my buried bolt. (With my shot-up shoulder, I cannot swing the thing properly -- or at all.)
But after a few weeks under moist Floriduh lawn/brush, they are no fargin good anymore (vanes get wrecked).

Speaking of wrecked vanes, I just ruined one of my arrows. Got lazy and just reloaded instead of walking to the target and retrieving the last shot. The second shot did a "Robin Hood" and hit the nock of the first arrow I had lazily/stupidly left in the bullseye.

(*sigh*) Live and re-learn...

Had recurves my whole life shooting with gloves or tabs.
First time I shot with a release and also shooting a bow in 5 years shocked me.
Beautiful group ,the release makes it sweet

On point today Subie !
How is the Family doing?

Thanks for asking. The daughter left the house for the first time yesterday. Her first stop was our house. She has 4 good friends taking turns sleeping over to help her get some rest and take care of the kids. The 7 year old granddaughter is going back to school but my 10 year old grandson is taking it hard and keeping a lot in. He said when he thinks of his dad it makes him cry. He stayed home this week from school but wanted to go today as it is fun Friday and they get two recesses which he missed last week for leaving his homework at home. He has been trying hard to redirect his mind with video games and tv…Maybe going to school today will be a start for him. The daughter is staying strong signing a stack of papers yesterday about insurance and money issues. Everyone is hellhounding her about a funeral but he wasn’t a religious man although he respected everyone’s beliefs. She wants to have a celebration of life party instead at the place they were married. I wish people would leave her alone about that but there are a lot of heavy older church folks that don’t understand this “new” thing.
but to answer your question. Things are moving in the right direction. Slow is good now. Thanks again for your concern

 

[user 60570]

good vibes to you and yours SG

I seen you walk over and stick that arrow in the target.

I was thinking shot from 4 ft away

The sekrit is to get others to swear for your fantastic demi-godhood in arrow whooshing is to get them to join the club.

Here is the result of my son, Puck, shooting my old crossbow. At forty yards, he put SIX in a hole you could cover with a quarter.

We never shoot multiples at the same spot anymore. Two of those above shown were wrecked to get this pic.

Fact is, with minimal practice, folks can shoot a crossbow as accurately as any open-sights gun. It ain't as sexy and difficult as it looks. <-- Those who lost the arrows on me were simply not comprehending what a sight picture looks like in a scope.

Late Correction Per Herself: That was Wolfie -- my grandling -- what done it. His Daddy and Grampa was watchin'.

Slow is good and smooth is good too.Too long of a rough road for you all.
You and your Honey are major comfort in their lives.
The world needs more Subbies ( and not just for national defense)

NO You can not Shoot an arrow off of Joe's Head

Bet I could. And I bet 3 out of 5 times you could, too.

Let's see if we can get Joe to agree for us to try it. You can shoot first.

Gawd. That gets me right in the feels. Us old hardcases tend to be vulnerable to little kids with real problems. "God bless the child who's got his own..."
