Sunday Morning Musings – Sometimes a Punch in the Face is Needed
Sometimes I have no idea how I got here. Sometimes I get sucked into situations I have no business being in. Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew and then smack myself in the forehead in regret and mutter “what was I thinking???” . I do however, find some solace in thinking I’m […]
Saint Patrick was a bow hunter…well ok, not really.
He was actually too busy getting kidnapped by raiders and escaping to study Christianity and to eventually become an Irish Saint. March 17th is the day of his death and became forever called Saint Patrick’s Day. I’m telling you right now, nothing would make me happier if someday I could have my own holiday where […]

Traditional bows do not assist you once fully drawn. Holding an 80lb longbow at full draw is monumentally tougher than an 80lb compound with […]
Warming Up, Exercises and Training for Archery
Archery appears to be a low impact sport where injuries are not common. One can walk up and down the shooting line at any club or event and think most archers could use a diet. I am going to go out on a limb here and ask you some questions. How many of you have […]
Finding the Correct Draw Length for Your Compound Bow
When it comes to shooting your bow to the very best of your ability, it’s critical to find your correct draw length. So many people walk into an archery shop, spread their “wings” out over a ruler on the wall and have it declared, for example, “YOUR DRAW LENGTH IS 28.5”. A bow in that […]
Destination Review: Haven by the Falls, Mercer, Wisconsin
Recently I stayed at Haven by the Falls in Mercer, Wisconsin. The local area is heavily wooded and the privately located side by side duplex sits on the water near the small falls.
