Sunday thoughts, 31 Oct
« on: October 31, 2010, 05:07:00 PM »
People and bows are alot alike, no matter how strong, good looking, elequent, etc.  they all have a breaking point.  Some higher than others. Some are unbacked and you have to be careful to only put them under so much strain until they break, some are laminated and can be pulled well past a practicle draw length before they break.  

So what are you backed with?  They say, we all have a "crutch."  Alcohol? tobacco? Seditives, (legal or otherwise)?  Getting away to nature can be a possiblity for most of us.  No matter what we use to "back" ourselves to keep our breaking point from taking over, one thing that will work for all of us is God almighty.  He doesn't have any respect for status, or wealth, if we us a compound or a self bow or a crossbow, he is equally there for all of us who know his son Jesus.  He won't make us unbreakable, but if we let him he will give us peace.  Knowing that peace will help us "keep it together".

Good hunting to all and shot straight

Not much a person can add to that...
I don't know much about bows, but you sure have the people part pegged.  Thanks for those words Mike.

Mike, Thanks, I needed that!
Haven't been able to hunt, yet, this year.  Things mounting up.  Your post was a wonderful pick-me-up!
May the Great Spirit keep us all safe and sound.
Ya'll say a quick prayer for our men and women in the military.

I thought religous posts were off topic.
Twist it up, don't pluck, marinate then grill.
