Why Not Introduce Ourselves?
 

I thought that us, the crossbowers of HNI, need to form our or brother(or sister)hood. Seriously though, I just thought everyone should introduce themselves with their name and what they shoot so we can all know each other better on a more personal level.

I've had a lifelong fascination with ancient weapons. Knives, axes, swords, slings, atlatls, bows and, now, crossbows. I've been seriously messing with crossbows for the past several years, but I did have a short infatuation with a Whammo crossbow some 40 years back. An exhibition of crossbow shooting by a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (midieval reinactors) got me enthralled with that kind of crossbow, so I've made a couple of midieval replicas to shoot. That's what it's all about for me. Although... I wouldn't mind getting my mitts on an Excal Phoenix. There's also an old Barnett Wildcat living in the garage that doesn't get out much.

Within the past month, I finally came to the conclusion that the pain I have to deal with from shooting vert bows more than offsets the pleasure I get from it. So, after 53 years (got my first bow for my 3rd birthday and never had sense enough to quit :D), I've retired all my verts and am concentrating on crossbows now.

Yes, some of you might remember me as a staunch opponent of crossbows in archery deer seasons. That was before technology made the compound bow every bit the equal of crossbows in nearly every way. I decided about 5 years ago that, if I must accept the one then I must also accept the other. Now I am only opposed to arrogance, hot-headedness and stupidity... on BOTH sides of the issue.

Crossbow is just another shooting toy. When I don't have anything to do, I shoot it out the window at targets. However, I have several Coyotes who pay unwelcome visits and I am fixing to introduce them to my friend.
