Ah, the magical mystical flight of the arrow. Thanks to the Army I view modern firearms as just tools. Therapy for me comes either in pulling a bow or shooting a flintlock. The process of loading and priming the flintlock is, to me, as calming as watching the arch of an arrow in flight. Currently I'm shooting a 35lb Wing recurve (shoulder issues). I have a 50lb bamboo back Osage longbow, a 50lb Pearson (I think) recurve, and a couple of generic fiberglass longbows. I do have a compound that I use for bowfishing. Fred Bear is one of my heroes.

YMOS,
Tony
