edonil Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I only tried compound today, and very much liked it, so I'll probably start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I liked the lower tech recurve as it gives me more excuses as to why I'm bad at it *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Heh, fair enough. I also got to try (and failed to even draw...) a very fancy with all the toys 60 pound compound bow. Holy crap that thing was powerful. And accurate too! ---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ---------- Actually, the first time I fired I was so startled by it, the guy told me that I jerked back from it, lol.

SteamHammer Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Something new will always seem weird. And at 60 pounds I'd be scared of getting close to that string when released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I stil need to relocate myself somewhere I can learn (and afford) to learn longbow. Archery is good fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yeah, I was pretty nervous around that thing...especially since it had a quick release trigger, that was also weird. Eventually I might want one like that, though. ---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ---------- Manage to get some sleep, Mako?

Dustcrusher Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Neato! I get to spend my evening at a Volbeat concert. And playing lots of Malifaux this weekend too. D&D on Saturday as well. Busy busy busy. Ah, Volbeat- one of the few current bands that understands that rock 'n' roll, regardless of any other things the artists are trying to say is, at it's heart, fun.

Mako Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Manage to get some sleep, Mako? Very little in the end. And another morning of banging head against brick wall. Roll on the weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Amen to that. So glad that the weekend is here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Now I've wasted the whole morning getting nowhere, I have a bunch of other tasks to cram into the afternoon. Should probably have started with those, but I thought I'd force myself to make a start on this paper draft. Bad plan it turns out! What's the weekend plan?

edonil Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Um. At the moment, go to bed so I can be awake for Star Wars tonight... after that, tomorrow is some housework. Maybe some painting. Taking a week off the video games, though, need to bring the bloody things back into balance. Oh, did you figure out a description of Sophie? I'm awfully curious now...

Mako Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Sounds like a good plan. What you painting? Well, I know what she looks like. Describing it is a different problem entirely! It took ages for me to be allowed to sculpt her, and I'm still not sure where to begin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well, Sophie better watch out... Chris seems intent on this picture, and might make up a look for her without her input... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowchikawowers Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Happy birthday dust! I have a gorgeous 45lb draw recurve that I inherited from my uncle. I haven't been able to go shooting though. Mako you and Sophie probably have a few days to work up that description. It's not like I don't have projects I can work on in the meantime. But Callie really likes the idea and is chomping at the proverbial bit. ---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ---------- And I'm off probably for the night. I am going to see Star Trek with a friend. ---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ---------- And I'm off probably for the night.
