they all seem kinda redundant..but all are half decint questions MOST of the time. if the person KNEW the answer then they wouldnt ask. although its redundant to those of us that are here all the time and been here a while the new comers and new archers dont know any better. figure its better to help them out and answer their questions opposed to letting their posts get burried and they go and do something stupid we could helped them prevent or otherwise. i was there. i think every year i been here i had 10004 questions each year about bows and bow hunting etc. thought id have the money each year..then something came up. finally i had the cash this year and i got my first bow. without help from these boards i would probably not be where i am..exspecially in terms of archery and flintlocking. i might have bought a flintlock and a bow..but i would probably bought JUNK and not have good results.
