Thank you and come home safe!
When a man shoots with a bow it is own vigor of body that drives the arrow,  his own mind controls the missile's flight......His trained muscles and toughened thews have done the work

Thank you all very much for the responses! Not sure how many Tradgangers are over this way but I spoke to 2knives on the way over when I stopped in Qatar for a day or so. Never got a face to face but I have been talking to him via email.

Kenny I never got approval to bring my bow. Bummer too. There's time that it's really boring here and there are several places a I could set up a simple range.

Again... thank you all for the kind words. it is an honor to call you all friends and to be "here" for you.

If you lived a little closer, I'd put you in my favorite stand for opening morning.  Thanks for being out there for us.  Hurry home!  Steve
