whooa bigcountry...just jokin bud. not tryin to start a fire. you should know me by now...i think im pretty reasonable and easy going. try not to step on toes. heck i even had the smiley at the end of the post....i always took that to mean "hey hes joking!"...sorry if you took it the wrong way.

besides bow and centerfire rifles i also hunt with a flintlock. i know where you guys comefrom believe me.

i actually want to get into traditional archery. i figured id learn on the compound first. till i have time nearly EVERY day to dedicate to shooting. right now im way to busy..college..work..life etc. to me the compound is almost like riding a bike....now that i know how to shoot it itll take a good bit for me to forget how. i thought only shooting once or twice a week would hurt me but it hasnt. im looking forward to a couple years from now and you guys helping me with my traditional questions! didnt mean to step on toes....

on a side not i had no idea a longbow shot at that speed. to me thats impressive. a 500gr arrow is pretty heavy..atleast to me(shooting a 378 gr finished carbon) and that seems quick to me. i always thought they would be slower then that. im looking forward to some day getting into it. i love the looks of a fine made longbow.
