I thought you all might like to hear about my Friday. I headed down to Denton to visit family and participate in a bicycle ride Saturday. However, I had a free afternoon Friday so I gave ArthurP a holler.

He came by and picked me up and we headed out to his local archery club range and flung some arrows. What a great time! I learned more in the few hours there by watching and listening than I have in all hours spent online and with my nose in a book. If you're out there trying to get started in Traditional archery, find some experience and hang out with them!! It's amazing the little things you can pick up just observing. I was making some technique mistakes that AP picked up on, and now I get to work on and makes some new muscles sore.

Denton has a great range. They have the field targets and a walk-thru 3D setup.I had never shot 3D with a longbow, so that was a new experience. What a hoot! If you haven't done that I'd suggest you find a place!! I only lost 2 arrows , a rabbit came by to laugh at AP and I, and I got to see several different bows.

It was great weather, great shooting, and great company. I'd like to thank Arthur again for his time and knowledge. I hope to make it back down again soon for an organized shoot!

I had a great time too, Chris.Just wish I coulda got some of the gang together. We've got some highly skilled and well practicedarrow finders in the club. But they were all busy, out huntin' or getting ready to hunt.

Ya know... You're much taller in person than you are on the 'puter screen.

Yeah, I guess I am taller in person. However, bet you get called Sir more than most. I understand that draw length now[:-]
