Some of you folks are pretty creative.

When I got started back to Trad, buddy got me into using ash for arrows. I bought one of Dean Torges' v-block set ups to taper arrows.

The danged ash had so much "runout" in the grain we used to get, that if I forgot to mark the grain orientation before I ground the nock taper, I played He2Xhockey sticks to find which way to orient my nock perpendicular to the grain.

I got so ticked off one time I hollared at my preacher bud and said, "What the devil? You need a Ph.D. to figure out which way to orient the nock or what?"

Doc Nock kinda eminated from that. I'm not a real doc, I just play one on the internet (Another euphemism from KillDeer-the-sharp-whit)

With the right set up, tuning, and release the bow and arrow will do it's job well, but when you I factor in myself I am my own worst enemy.

I was raised hunting and fishing in the greatest overflow swamp in the US. The Atchafalya Basin! Hence Basinboy! lol
My goal someday is to live the rest of my day's on a house boat in that swamp!

No interesting back story for mine. I wanted a name that had something to do with archery and figured pointystick was a simple way of describing an arrow: a pointy stick.

I always liked hunting things from the ground instead of in treestands. i remember when i was a kid i saw a picture in a bow magazine and a buck or a ram was walking on a little ridge path and the archer was perched about ten yards above him on the rocky ledge that image has always stuck with me no tree stand for that guy.then i stalked an 8 pointer one year in a soybean field wearing my predator camo with-in 15 -20 yards and nailed broadside not the biggest dear ive ever gotten but one i will never forget that ground experience was awesome !

During my younger years I used to shoot the first deer with antlers that walked by. My brother in law always made fun of me for shooting "SCRUBS". So I ended up with scrub-buster.

I use to shoot my shotgun alot (1000+ rounds/week) with my brother and some friends after school. We would go do alot of hunting together and i had made some pretty good (or lucky) shots. My first goose was at 80 yards and i dropped him dead with my 12ga. I even shot clays with deer slugs on a regular basis. In 2004 i was duck hunting with some friends and a banded pintail drake came fluttering in at less than 20 yards. I missed that bird 3 times (i blame it on my extra full choke). my buddies were laughing so hard they couldnt even shoot. though i have redeemed myself many times over since that miserable day, they still wont let me live it down!

Mine is of 2 parts.

Mystic is short for Mystic Islands, NJ where I lived & have Family
Guido is an old Nick name that I had back when SNL had Father Guido sarducci.

Guido was also used by me before the net went world wide. So I just added the 2 after I moved back to Jersey in 1996. So now I am MysticGuido

Being 5'5" and squatty built it just seemed to fit. 91' was the year I graduated from school.
