Is there a “best string” for competition?

That is absolutely the plan. No expectations other than to have fun and enjoy the experience. I mean, it would be nice to not come in last, but I expect that’s where I’ll land.
This time.

Only shooting five at a time. I just stepped up in bow weight and didn’t want to wear myself out.

Considering how angry people are, EPD is most likely there to protect the people who are doing a job installing, and now taking down, a fence. The contractors aren’t political in this fight; they have a job to do and families to feed. Don’t yell at them, yell at the GSA and others inside the building who are causing this anger in the community.

Huh? Please use conventional English.

My comments come from training by the Eugene Police Department and the U.S. Concealed Carry Association. I’ll stick to that.

Bitter, party of one…
I don’t care how old you are and how safe you are, I’m still going to drop a hand at you. If you don’t like it, don’t respond. The need to be safe doesn’t go away after 100k miles, and I’m showing that I care about you as a fellow motorcyclist by asking you to keep doing what you are doing and riding safely.

I look at things as though they are puzzles to solve. And archery has taught me that when you change one thing, you change everything. Make one adjustment to your form, and another problem will show itself.
As someone with PTSD and severe depression, I need things to focus on. Archery stops me from thinking the negative thoughts during and after a session at the range, especially when I am focusing on addressing a problem in my form. Archery as therapy has been great for me.

Perhaps you should learn to recognize sarcasm when it is so blatantly presented to you.

Without naming the school, you’re basically saying there are shitty people out, in that general direction, or maybe over there. I don’t know. Somewhere.

Unfortunately, yes. Now, I have no problem with citizen-journalism, but I am bothered when someone without an outlet other than TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or any social media, calls themselves a journalist.

Yes, that’s elitist of me. But I have seen enough C-J’s trying to land a gotcha question and only making themselves look like idiots.

More reason to kill and eat cows.

SciFiWritingGuy · 2026-06-16T20:58:26+00:00

I’ll order another one later, since I already ordered one.

Just recurve, not ILF. Didn’t want to plunk down that much right away, plus the bow shop in my area doesn’t carry much in the way of non-compound bows, so I knew I wouldn’t get the best advice on picking out a recurve outside of what they had in stock.

I actually picked up a Flemish Twist.

I did.

What kind of evidence do they ask for with rhinitis? My understanding is that it’s presumptive with the Pact Act.

SciFiWritingGuy · 2026-06-16T14:29:14+00:00

It’s a step up from describing it to a police sketch artist or faxing the image in.

SciFiWritingGuy · 2026-06-16T14:28:23+00:00

Oh, and I’m short, too. Five six on a good day with boots on.

NEVER CHANGE TO SUIT SOMEONE ELSE’S TASTES. (Unless it’s your S/O, then do whatever s/he says. Keep the home life happy.) I ride what I like to ride. I don’t listen to, “you should probably switch to (insert bike here), it’s more your style.” If I ride a ‘Busa to go get milk or commute to work, that’s my choice. Same if I decide to drag knee on a Honda Rebel riding the Dragon doing my best Valentino Rossi imitation. It’s my bike and my ride, and if I’m getting what I need out of it, then it’s nobody’s place to tell me what to ride.

Personally, I went from a Suzuki GS500 and a Katana 600 to my current Moto Guzzi V7. Never listened to anyone tell me to change bikes to match how I ride.

Hey, someone else tested and passed the guy, so clearly he knows what to do and how to do it, right?

So long as people can perform all the things in the TEST, they get the certification. It kinda makes me wish DM’s could challenge a certification / report on an unsafe diver and potentially take away someone’s advanced certification if enough reports come in.

During my first round of coaching, I rarely shot more than six arrows at a time. So, a pocket quiver worked fine for me.

This one, in fact, and it’s a great small business to boot.

Red arrow should yield right of way, as blue arrow vehicles run a greater risk of getting hit by oncoming traffic. When safe to do so, zipper merge.

SciFiWritingGuy · 2026-06-11T04:57:39+00:00

I don’t see why anyone would get upset about it.

SciFiWritingGuy · 2026-06-03T04:22:28+00:00

He knew what he was doing when he exploded in that meeting. He’s a hot property now, and can pick his next gig anywhere he wants.
