Scared me - yeah! I felt instantly sorry for the bow, me, and the rest of the world (not you - if you were guilty   ;)   ) when I read your post ... Ufff! Better so!   :D     :D     :D  

And of course - being able to touch "Simba Blood" would be a real feat (?word) for me.
Thanks Don, for explaining ... lucky man!  :notworthy:

I can't do it, I have a longbow my grandmother shot in highschool in the 40's still with  original string and I can't bring myself to pull it to full draw for fear of it breaking.
