hey, y'all
« on: June 06, 2012, 04:07:00 PM »
i normally speak and write in complete sentences, but i'll keep this short.

lost my right arm 30 years ago, sold my 65# howatt hunter, thought archery was over.  sad. unlike most, i didn't come to the bow from the gun.
i started with the bow, at 12, shooting rabbits with my grandpa.

lots of hunting with firearms since.  iincluding africa.  the passion never waned.

anyway, last year, a guy showed me how to pull a bow with my teeth.

started back in with a compound, but ditched it asap.  30 years ago, i shot a recurve,but now i am a longbowman.

missed a big old hog the day before yesterday.

got a bamabow on order.  

it had to be the bow, right?  

y'all seem like friendly folks.  my lurking has answered many questions, but i'll likely pester you with more.

thanks.

shooting with the teeth is easy.  it's not even a bit special. and i'm certainly not. every 1 of you could be shooting just as well with your choppers the day after tomorrow as you are with fingers today.  (assuming you've got stout choppers, )

think about it!  y'all draw TO  the corner  of your mouth--i draw WITH the corner of my my mouth.

when i read about guys giving up, or giving in to inadequate
draw weights,due  to shoulder problems, i think thiis might be useful to others, though.
