Windknot, where in West Somerset? I'm in Williton. Fish, my American girlfriend is over here at the moment and she tried some farmhouse cider. Her face said it all, although she did add a few words that I can't repeat. Then she made me drink it for her.

"Nope, didn't get a bite all morning. We eat loads of "fish and chips" at the local market there."

Had to make do with a cod piece, eh? (Oh no! Not another fish joke!!!)

I love the colors and composition of your avatar photo, it looks like a magazine cover to me. Welcome aboard, and I think the 'nondescript' bow is a lood-looking bow.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

HI!
“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

Welcome, Fish.  Nice pheasant you got there.  

Wow, this really is an international site!

UKarcher, I love that quote "Vegetarian bowhunters of England:- Brotherhood of The Bean"

Sorry to hear that bowhunting is illegal in England.  After God and family, bowhunting is most important to me.  Life would be a lot less fun without it.  Perhaps we take it for granted over here.......

Welcome from Colorado!  I'm going to have to get "across the pond" to fling arrows one of these days.  Especially since my mom is from Northampton.  Cheers, mate!
