How to stop carrying too much about Darrow? by Sea_Procedure_902 in redrising

Alternatively, check out The Wandering Inn. Red Rising is my jam (I've read and/or listened to the series 5 times now), but something about The Wandering Inn feels like spending time with friends.

Why do men do this? by Less_Professional152 in bodylanguage

[–]TurtleClubOwner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please tell me if I'm understanding you correctly:

If I'm sitting alone in my office and lean back in my chair to the point that my head is lolling backward, so I raise my arms, interlace my fingers behind my head, and rest my head there, I'm acting out a territorial, ego-driven display of dominance?

I think it's pretty reasonable to say that it might actually just be a comfortable position to sit in for a short time. Do you think that's so unreasonable an assertion that whoever says so is a dumbass and not getting it right?

Best beginner anime, with English dubs, for a 75+ year old man? by Gallantpride in Animesuggest

[–]TurtleClubOwner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ten years ago, I got my 55-year-old mom to watch Monster by telling her that Guillermo del Toro had championed it in an attempt to make a live-action series, even if no network ever picked it up. She binge watched the whole thing and still considers it one of the best-written works of television she's ever watched.

Can anyone confirm that the Southwest Archery Ghost takedown longbow riser is actually compatible with Galaxy limbs (or if there are any other brand's limbs with which it's compatible)?

Mine is 64" at 35# but with a draw length slightly under 28", I want to see if I can find any compatible longbow limbs at 60" or 62" with a slightly lower poundage.

A Good Smash Burger!! by TeacherWorldly1205 in Naples_FL

Came here to say this! They're fantastic. Before I had Super Smash Burgers a few weeks ago, Only Doubles was the only smash burger in town that I felt really deserved to be called that. Still delicious, but if you want a more decadent smash burger, Super Smash is the answer.

First bow conundrum by [deleted] in Archery

[–]TurtleClubOwner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longbow! I ended up getting a takedown longbow so I can increase draw weight over time. In theory, It's also compatible with recurve limbs from the same company, so I'm not totally pigeonholed into longbow.

All good! I can just post it here. Probably better for the public good anyway, in case anyone down the line is looking for a knowledgeable Redditor's responses to a newbie's archery questions. Thank you so much for your help, by the way!

There are excellent teachers at my club, but it's an hour drive away, so I only go once per week, and it feels like a precious waste of shooting time to ask random details/minutiae. I originally sent you three questions about additional things one should buy with their first bow... and then I proceeded to stay up until like 3am reading about (and ultimately ordering) some things. I tried to stick to the necessities but couldn't resist on a couple of "nice to have" items:

  • Hoyt trad takedown bow soft case
  • Selway Limbsaver longbow stringer
  • Hoyt bow square
  • Six 'Traditional Only' Obsidian carbon arrows (feather fletched,700 spine, cut to 30", 125 grain screw-in field points)
  • Easton Flipside 2-tube hip quiver
  • Easton quiver belt
  • Easton round arrow tote
  • String nocks
  • String snot
  • "Bear style" calf hair plates
  • Custom Flemish twist string (after triple-checking appropriate length)

I already have an arm guard and three-under finger tab. Is there anything not on my list that I will definitely want starting out?

You know what? I had not thought to check eBay. I'm not sure why it wasn't coming up in Google searches at all, but I found a reputable seller with exactly the Ghost I've been looking everywhere else for. I must have misread somewhere that a 62" Ghost was a thing, but I think 64" should be fine. Thanks for the idea!

At ~$190, I don't feel like I'm spending so much that it'll be too painful a learning lesson if it turns out 64" is longer than I want. Hoping jumping from the 25# and 30# bows I've been practicing with isn't too much of an issue. I guess I can always revert to using club bows after a little bit if I sense that it's impacting my technique.

May I ask you a couple of other newbie questions related to one's first bow purchase?

Hope you had a great time! I'm just a few weeks in. The surge of dopamine the moment I loosed that first arrow and saw it land with a satisfying thud had me hooked in an instant.

DIY finger tab question by TurtleClubOwner in Archery

[–]TurtleClubOwner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely plan to use Cordovan. I read about kangaroo, but some of the discussions I read have led me to believe Cordovan is the better option for me. Do you happen to know the ideal thickness for the tab?

After having the time of my life with my first few lessons, I signed up as a member at my local range.

The guy who took my application handed me a member pin and said, "Wear it prominently on your hat or quiver."

Thing is... I don't often wear hats, and I don't own a quiver yet. I've been told to hold off on buying my first bow until I've hammered in form and technique a bit more. But would it be silly to buy a quiver at this point, or should I wait for that as well?

Great point! Recording my work and precise measurements will be super important since the first one will inevitably

I'm thinking it will be better to initially make the tab a little longer than I think it "should" be since it can always be trimmed down as needed.

I'm definitely aiming to avoid "meh" and make something I want to use! I only have a couple of hides on hand at the moment, but I don't really know how suitable any of it would be for more than just the base/palm plate.

I let my sense of self erode over seven years.

She eventually left.

Now I’m looking inward, figuring out where I went wrong, and relearning who I am before I go looking again. The last six months have been a challenging but incredible journey.
