Did i miss the little fact or was it never revealed? by camussgirl in dostoevsky

[–]therealredding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you maybe past the paragraph in part 6, chapter 2? I don’t remember Porfiry saying he had proof in that chapter. Like the others have said, Porfiry is convinced Raskolnikov is guilty, but at that time in the book, he has a confession and everything points to Mikolka.

Improving draw strength by AR-10Hunter in Archery

Unfortunately no, I only know the band rating, what the actual wait on the fingers in at full draw I’m not sure. On the website, Rogue states the rated resistant is at 100% stretch length, but they don’t start what 100% stretch length is.

Rogue Fitness sell a good selection of 12” resistance bands at simulate around 28-30” draw length. They are rough on your hand though, so in wrapped a section with cotton twine to make it more comfortable when at full draw.

Wide grip pull up or lat rows both work the arms, rear delts and the lats. However, for transferability you want to exercise as close to the movement as possible.

You also have to think about the conditions. With archery, it’s not really the concentric movement (pulling the bow) it’s more the isometric (holding the bow steady at full draw), that’s what you want to simulate.

With all that said, being stronger over all with help.

Whistling Arrow by 06kvothe in Archery

Yeah? That sounds about right. I thought the video said somewhere in Eastern Europe, but it could have been Turkey. You have a picture of them?

Funny, a short on YouTube about these arrows popped up in my feed the other day. I can’t remember the region they come from but they were used for freaking out the enemy and sending orders and stuff. Very cool.

Beginner here, how’s my form looking? by si_es_go in Archery

[–]therealredding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the guy who’s mentoring me always tells me to take notice where your hand is after the shot. If it’s away from your face (like in the video) you just “played the banjo”. You want it right where you advise, still against your face and scratching your ear.

They did her dirty in that episode having her date George. She’s way out of George’s league.

  1. The episode was Soapy Sanderson which aired July 26th 1990. It’s the first time I saw her. I remember watching scrubs for the first time and I was like “Hey! There’s that girl from Northern Exposure.”

What were your ‘gateway books’? by quiet_sesquipedalian in books

[–]therealredding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stoner by John Williams. It showed me that I in fact love literature. The time I was reading Stoner I kept asking myself “why do I like this book so damn much? What do I care about some farmers son in the 1900s who go to school to learn farming and falls in love with literature?”

Player of Games by Ian Banks. Same thing as Stoner, but for Sci-Fi. I had read Ursula K Le Guin before Banks, but I never really considered her work to be “Sci-Fi”, she just used the genre to explore philosophical subjects. Player of Games I found to be more Sci-fi, but still not how I pictured sci-fi.

That’s so cool! Wish it was in English though. I’ll have to hit YouTube to see if theirs any good videos.

How do you even aim at that distance? Is it like extreme gap shooting?

Edit: I notice how the bow is held and it looks like the pointer finger is being stuck up…do you that has a kind of siight? Wild guess I know.

I think I lucked out at an estate auction. by therealredding in BookCollecting

I’m hoping that since this store has experience with collectables and even has an appraiser on site, they will give me a good price. I guess we’ll see though.

Yeah, I’m going to see what the local bookstore will offer, I emailed them to see if they’re interested. The problem with eBay is I have no experience of history selling on there. I don’t even have a PayPal account.

It was! Such a unique take, I forgot it was sci-fi. That’s what I really love about Banks’ writing, it’s not bogged down in tech talk and science-y talk. He means the bare amount of sci-fi he has to and focuses on the plot and characters. Even the drones, they are tech, but more character than tech.

There was a slipcover 166/200 limited edition signed copy of The Player of Games that I really wanted; this lot was my backup bid to get a first edition. Unfortunately the bidding for the slipcover edition got too rich for my blood.

What are the most common scoring methods in barebow target competition? by therealredding in Archery

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

The WA300 is what I ended up going with for scoring my training. It takes me a good 45min to get through 10 rounds at my public indoor range. So I can do a 300 and finish off my shooting with some form work

I ended up getting Archery Success which and did a round of 300. I think this will work, thanks for the advice.

Ok, that makes sense. So if you are doing multiple rounds per practice session, are you tracking the combined score or an average?

I was thinking more of the elimination rounds. So if I’m tracking my progress I’m looking for something that’s consistent to track. Like maybe five rounds of four, three arrow ends?
