    Got the recurve going. Stringed it and screwed the reel on. Blinked tennis balls in the back yard. Adjusted the rest. Arrow flies straight enough. Ill fine tune it at the lake.

    I'm gonna see if I can locate a stinky carb. Then end him.

    I started in my low twenties too, lol. I bought an older compound bow in some flea market shop in Fort Stockton. Shot bails of hay with it. It became a bowfishing rig when I came home to Bell County. I shot carp and sucker fish.

    I bought one of the bottle rigs. Where the string is reeled up into a bottle. Never had it before. New to me. I'm not feeling confident about this. It's this or a big closed face zebco 808.

    Yeah, my reels were big metal spools with a clip to keep the string wound until you shot. (Typical bowfishing reels for the 70's.)

    I shot a few carp back in the day. Once had 2 on the same arrow, but the inside one bumped the outside one off.

    A friend needs to borrow a few leather ammo belts for a performance. Need em size large. Anyone local have one or two they can borrow? I can personally vouch that they will be in good hands and will be returned expediently.

    One of those big coils are the only time I have seen a train take severe damage from a truck parked on the tracks.
    A while back, one fell off a truck here in Houston while the truck was on an overpass. It knocked a hole clear through the roadway, bounced, knocked another hole through, bounced, created a great big crater, bounced, and then rolled to a safe stop. I drove by right afterwards. Everyone was crowding over and not using one lane and I couldn't figure out why. When I got to the site of the first impact, I looked to my left and saw a hole big enough to swallow a small car, with the roadway below clearly visible. The only thing left were a few sections of rebar.

    You see something like that on the road and you get this funny knot in the pit of your stomach.

    I just hope whoever secured that particular load to that trailer got fired as harshly as possible.
