It' s hard to relate these feelings about stick and string to my buddies.
Don' t even try. I' ve tried explaining those feelings hundreds of times and very seldom do I get more than the glazed over eyes and the thousand yard stare. Throw a plastic bottle on the ground a few yards away, hand them a few arrows and let them shoot the bow. Don' t let them shoot at a target butt. Most people will never get it, but the ones that CAN understand WILL understand after a few arrows. It has to be experienced before it can be understood.
