Adk Ken makes me feel old.......
« on: September 15, 2013, 03:19:00 PM »
He shows up to my house with a bow that he wants me to help set up for him...no problem. He pulls out this beautiful Northern Mist Classic and hands it to me. I look at the specs.....70" 80# @ 28.....what 80#'s. He wants string silencers and to check the nocking point, so I go to work. I can't draw it, I can't string it, I can't even un-string it. Man I'm getting old. Well when we got done you should see this thing send a 2216 down range. I can see some pass thru's in the future.

Ron, its a pry bar first, then a bow. According to Drew anyways.

No worries.  Age and treachery can always prevail over youth and strength.

80# eh?  Not even when I was young and eager.  Whew!

I sound like the Rice Crispy Trio even trying to pull a 60# bow... once!

Talk to me in 15 yrs Ken... then we'll see what you think of heavy bows! Course, in 15 yrs, you'll have to contact me thru prayer---hopefully!     :eek:      :knothead:

Hey Ron...working in the ER I frequently hear people talking about how difficult it is getting old. I remind them that as far as I know, there's only one alternative and I prefer getting old  ;)  Every day on "this side of the dirt" that I've still got my mind (some people might argue that point) is a good day in some way.
