What did you do today?

Come on in and sit a spell. There's a seat for you around the campfire.

After a bit of bare shafting it looks like something in the ball park of a 400 spine cut 28.75 with 250 grain tips

Going to keep practicing with this bare shaft and see if anything weird happens.

Sounds great Clay....hope it goes well. It takes some time to get it concreted so stay with it.

Still getting some pluckers though, for some strange reason my string hand flies up and waves at the neighbors every so often! Started thinking about the golf ball, helped some but I forget. Plucking or jerking on release usually results in completely over shooting the target. But I did close the evening on a tight group at 30 yards.
Lol! Don't worry Tony I'm waving back at ya!

Today I..... didn't preach! Very unusual for me, in fact probably the first Sunday missed since my surgery. Had some singers this morning and one of them was a preacher so I loosed him. Tonight I had several visiting ministers, I gave a young one the opportunity.

I hung out with my son, who lives about two hours away, and he came home for about a day & a half. It was great to catch up with him! Then Sunday, My wife, my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and I went to a Chicago Cubs game. Lots of fun!
