We appreciate the advice Super Hunt, but our thought is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I've been hunting since I was 16 and have never missed a shot or lost a deer. We're not much into equipment. My husband retired a beautiful antique wooden compound bow in favor of a Browning that he got at half-price from Gander Mountain. Some one bought it, didn't like it, and returned it. We bought my bow at a yard sale for $20. It's supposed to be 30 lbs., which is just about right for little sachiko.

It's really no big deal, but sachi is like half a name. East Asians don't name kids by how it sounds. The names actually mean something depending on the kanji used. Sachi can mean different things, but the kanji my mother used means "of happiness." The ko means "child," so I am "child of happiness." It reflects my mother's feelings. But, like I said, no big deal. Just thought I would let you know.
