I am new to forums and this may sound like a dumb question but what does "bump" and "ttt" mean?

Bump and taking to top means you are bringing a topic back to the top of the forum. SPF means sold pending funds.
Stick around there will be more.

Whoops.. I edited because I got it wrong ... it is "beyond his years".  

What kind of Freudian thing was I thinking "behind" his ears -- surely my slip doesnt suggest that LH folks are stuck in the past?

BT = Bow Tree

Famous pine tree of RNHarris. Legend has it the tree is suspected of being the main selling magnet of at least 150 bows and archery related items through the middle Georgia area. Most feel that without the tree, Ralph would not have been able to keep us in bows. I believe that Bleckley county has applied for the tree to be placed on the Nationlal Register of Historic Places. You can also send your bow to Ralph to be photographed while leaning on the tree, of course a modest fee will incur.

Here is some more bow slang from the classifieds:

"Some scratches" - bow was used to hit rocks in a playground by the owner's seven year old son.

"One crack" - bow is in two pieces.

"Original finish" - no finish left.

"Original decals" - three letters and or two numbers (or any combination of same) can be made out.  

"Bubble in finish" - found in ashes after devistating house fire.

"Good shooting bow" - String was found with bow.

"Wall hanger" - last guy who tried to shoot it was killed when limb failed.

"Starter Bow" - Looking for someone who has no idea what a bow should look like and won't be disappointed.
