1. I am not insane
2. Owning multiple bows, broadheads , knives , hunting hats and constantly shooting arrows at rotten stumps are traits actually enjoyed by other people , not just me ... hence lesson No 1
3. Don't read posts by Rik Hinton or Nate Steen if you aren't prepared to go to sleep everynite thinking about hunting grouse with a longbow

1. I think it's pretty great how many bowyers you see on here that you may not ever know about without logging on. Before I joined, I'd never heard of Lost Creek Bows. But saw them on here, and got my first custom bow.

2. That said, I learned that those who say Hill style bows have handshock, are slow, too long, etc. are full of baloney.   :D  

3. Last year, I remember getting my hunting setup ready and had some questions. Rob chimed in and said, "Don't overthink yer gear." That has stuck with me and I'll likely never forget it. That said, I still over analyze everything...

I've learned so much it's hard to put it into three things. Not to mention all of the great people I meet and get to chat with every day.

1)We need to keep the bar set high for ourselves as we will be the ones the new generations will be looking to for direction and guidance.

2) I want to do and be better today than I was yesterday. (sometimes I fail, God forgives)

3) No one will care how much we know until they know how much we care.

It isn't how the bow feels, it how I feel when I have the bow in my hand and heart.

1.)Some of the best people I know I have met on here.

2.) I'm not alone.

3.) Having someone hit the "reply all" button instead of the "reply" button will show more of their true character than 1000 posts.

Mudd's #1 is a good[b/] one.    :)  

And this I learned this morning and will pass along: Dog chew toy stuffed chipmunks are not durable targets and at $8 a pop are not intelligent, either. But man are they fun!

1.  This is supposed to be fun.

2.  None of us need to bowhunt to live.

3.  Never compare your shooting to how people say they shoot on archery sites.

1)  He who talks the loudest is seldom right.

2)  You learn more with your mouth closed and your ears open.

3)  Listen to what everyone has to say - then do what is right for you.

1. There are still some bowhunters out there that have an "old school" mentality where a trophy means more than just a B&C score, and that any deer taken with a stickbow is a trophy. Guys like Ron and his photos of camp take me back to the old deer camp environment I grew up in.

2.  Arrow dynamics

3. What an amazing bunch of individuals there are that share the common obsession of traditional archery

1) Don't be offended when a post that you started get's pulled, we need to moderator's

2) Keep it simple and don't over think it

3) How to make a board bow.

Trad guys and gals help one another

There is a lot we do not know  and  we do not even know the depth of our ignorance. It takes another trad archer to open our mind. It makes ya think what and why you believe what you do.

I have been shooting for over 50 years and visiting here for ten. My shooting has improved improved drastically in those years.  Thanks to all of you

1.  There are some super talented people out there, and this place gives me access to a lot of them.

2.  That I have some talent too. This place has motivated me to take on some projects I might not have before.  I've surprised myself with some things I've made.

3.  I don't even know what I don't know, but I learn something new almost every day on this site.
