No to the shoot, but did you use to hang out down at Boondocks in Southington when Bob was open?

Uh Oh, Boondocks...Southington sounds like someone lives close to my next of the woods. Too bad I wasn't heading back home (Warren) sooner.  Hopefully I'll get back sometime near the end of May.

I haven't seen Bob in a couple years now. I should stop in and see him.  His shop was the only one I've ever been in around here that could truly be called a "Pro Shop". He was the real deal.  If you had a question, he knew the answer.  Didn't much matter what type of archery, he usually had what you needed.

I know what you mean about knowing what you know now.  Bob offered me a couple hundred 50/55 cedars for $100 when he was preparing to sell.  Old stock cedars, dark, rich, tight grained beauties.  Too light a spine for me so I passed on them.  Just plain stupid!
