Ive done 52 laps around the sun & the only think i have really learned is humans are weird & the more we try to understand them the more weird they are.
onward & upward.

Brutal honesty I love. sorry to hear. Been there, you're helping many not just in archery. I thought this vid was awesome because it was heartfelt and didn't know what the next sentence was going to bring. Just enjoy the way you are able too. It will work out.

Good times good updates

PS: when it was windy I always just took the stab completely off and shot it "barebow". Also, I'm old and move around a lot anyway, so stabs don't actually help me at all. They just make it harder to get back on target when I (always) move off it. I do still use a 10" stab with a couple oz. of weight on it to balance the bow, even on my "illegal" recurve...

@steven: the Sennheiser mike you are using comes with a so called "dead cat" fur-ish thing you can mount on the mike. It kills wind noise. We use same.

So I recently heard about a study that demonstrated that deer are most active during windy times! They compared winds from 0-10km/h / 10-20kh/h & 20+ Turns out the faster the wind speed the more active deer are - the correlation is that they can smell scents carried by the wind. I find that comforting and critical to therefore practise in the wind... That ain't no hot air.

Hard to tell some women just work at a different pace, but if it's been like no follow up for like three weeks max, then its clearly not interested - there may have been sparks but you never know something silly might have scared her off

I got to about the low 290's level with a 10" stab and a recurve sight with my trusty PSE Supra Max at 33lbs peak weight, before I quit shooting the last time. It took me years just to get to keeping 30 shafts all in the gold (just barely). I'm still debating continuing with compound - I'm tired of the hassle of it (peep always misaligned, anchor always juuust a little bit not quite in the right place, unfixable knock-high tunes, etc). But at the same time, I always had that goal of shooting a 300. Decisions, decisions...

I have been a much maligned minor character in a lot of womens soap operas and i can say with some  authority that a woman  that gets so upset about a background  on a message will not mind in the slightest if you  out her to your 38000 subscribers.

We are all damaged goods but the wrong women is always crazy too.  Be thankful you have been able to see her true character and can avoid a bad decision.

I feel for you. I hope sharing your story is helping you and others. As much as I'm disappointed to hear the struggle in your voice I pray now there is space for someone unexpected to enter into your life and share everything with your wholly and unconditionally.
Weather you believe in Jesus or just sling arrows, run a great business with great staff, care for your pup and all the countries archery community. Try not let other define who you are.
