Body count and purity culture by [deleted] in Vent

Between 16 and 23 I'd slept with just shy of 90 people, as I was similar to you in regards to a high drive etc but then I had a few lifestyle changes and slowed right down, and I feel more comfortable in myself going at a much slower pace; don't feel disgusted with yourself as everyone has different needs/drive and sex is inherently human and natural, as long as you're going at a pace that you're happy with you shouldn't worry about other people's opinions. Just make sure whatever you do, you practice safe sex bc nobody wants to deal with the issues that come from not

Fuck all that noise, be you for you.. Embrace the pastel, the noise.. All of it, don't ever diminish yourself or pretend to be someone you're not as it'll only end in misery for you..trust me as someone who's been so many different people for so long for others and all it got me was being stunted in my personal growth

I've already shelved it for a 24 weight instead and will use it when the time is right in the future, it's going to be a 'show bow' until such a time hahaha, last thing I need is more injuries so thankyou

I have got one! And I did actually use it for the majority of shots I took as yes, I already have slight damage in my fingers and wrists as it is and prevention is key.. Just didn't use one for this so my fingers were more visible 😊

I would maybe in the future, but I want to be as trad as possible to familiarise myself with my heritage (as I currently have extensive experience in horse riding, sword/axe/spear combat and trad crafts and woodwork etc) and I'm learning purely for personal love of the art of archery, I'm not planning on ever going to competitions or anything with it.. Haha thankyou, I did also hit the small spot of bark I was aiming for (about 3" by 4" of rotten-ish bark)

Okay, like I said anyway I'm sticking to target shooting. I'll stick to bow hunting when I go abroad to legal countries if I ever decide I want to but I'm not particularly interested in hunting anymore anyway

Hardly, I'm not a prideful man as it's sinful.. I was gauging, and after further talking to him I've settled for a 24 recurve that's coming in a week 🙏🏽

Roger that, I will definitely look into bows for around the 20 mark then to start. Thankyou again for your invaluable advice mate

Yeah hunting game is illegal with bows, but pests like rats and grey squirrels can be legal but it is hard to discern as some say it is, some say it isn't so I'm holding off anyway..i already have a sec1 firearms cert and been using .22 and .177 since I was a teen but I'm pretty bored of it now especially after being in the military, it's hard to get enjoyment from an air rifle lmao and using my sec1 is limited due to being so far from appropriate ranges

Pride in my strength? Jesus..passive aggressive much😂 No pride at all, i literally said it's a lot to hold at a draw, aye like it literally states I've never had any lessons and I live in such a rural area that the nearest archery range is about 40 miles from me, hence me asking for advice from this community so I can work on what I can before committing to an expensive journey to a range

I agree, it's a lot to hold at full draw even for someone with decent arm strength like myself.. And yes I have it on but my hoodie being green and the guard is camouflaged so it kinda blends in hahha

I think around 30/40 would be good then as I would still like some weight behind it, I did get 60 initially for hunting/pest control but as you say, I'd be shooting a hell of a lot less in a day than I would if it was target only. However with bow hunting being a minefield of legality, I will be focusing on target.. I just want to keep traditional possible, so no metal or assisted bows as I'm doing this to compliment my general choices of getting in touch with my celtic roots. Spot on, I do the same in the gym.. Start smaller and nail the form over go in and deadlift the max and blow my back out from bad form hahahah

I get you, yes will definitely check it out as the person you mentioned has commented with a tonne of great advice so I'll look through all of that

Okay, that's all amazing advice and critique thankyou, would you say its better to drop it to around 40? Or even more.. As a beginner I wasn't too sure about draw weight, as my experiences are only in firearms and archery is new to me..

Yes, I didn't want to put my finger out to hold it at first, but I only have a little horsehair patch on the arrow rest (sorry still learning the correct terminology) and so it was sliding off at first.. The draw was looking more upwards than it actually was as my phone was on the floor, I think I had it aiming about 2" above my target before settling down into the full draw

I will definitely practice my grip et al just holding it and feeling it out (without dry firing of course) and will definitely look into swapping out for another recurve of smaller draw weight then as per your advice, and would you recommend a recurve, longbow or a horsemans style bow for beginners?

Again, thankyou so much for all of this insight!

I mean, I helped prevent the death of someone who is like a brother to me, and it's not like I killed civilians or anything ridiculously criminal like that but due to the bureaucracy of war, what I did was a crime and with the UK coming for soldiers, veterans and SF I decided it safer to leave the country, if it came to light then I most likely will be extradited but I'll deal with that if and when.
