G5 is here, happy and well.

Now that was the coolest thing I have ever experienced. I payed close attention to the doctors work. I was told that he was the best, but now I have seen the best in action! He was amazing and really showed me that birthing babies is an art form that requires finesse and careful care during the process. Sarah came through the experience just fine and due to the doctors care in delivery, she didn't experience any coplications.

We really lucked out to be birthing at the best hospital and with the best doc. Thanks for the referral Kim!

Houston!? Everything is Green for Launch

I am exited to report that Sarah's doc has taken her off of all meds and all bedrest restrictions. We are ready for launch! I guess time will tell. She has been having some tiny hints of progression but nothing solid yet. It is only 9:30pm so maybe tonight, maybe 3 weeks from now. Who knows.

If it rains, it pours.

ok, so here is where I am right now. I have a pregnant wife that is so uncomfortable she can't stand it and there is nothing I can do to make her more comfortable. I was just recovering from a severely twisted ankle that caused me to limp like quasimodo for 3 weeks. Just yesterday I ended up in the ER with a bulged disk pressing on my sciatic nerve. It was the most excruciating pain I have ever endured. I have been on my back in bed for the last two days, so there hasn't been any shooting. I am just praying I can get out of my crippled state before the baby comes. Sarah is really going to need me in fitter shape than this for sure.

The weather here is showing signs of breaking and I am really excited to get out the X10s. I have a test half dozed that I haven't touched yet and will go through the systematic process of divining the right cut of the back and working the bows tune around them. I have not had great luck with X10s in the past, but I know more now and hope to give it a good run this season. I have been taking tips from some of the pros that have them shooting great and hopefully I can put them to good use.

DUDE!!! They banned me!?

I guess I am banned from AT

So If you would like to get tips from me... You will need to visit my new home. www.archerylearningcenter.com

I need your help to make it a great place for archery.

Now that I have that out of the way... :)

Time for what I am up to shooting wise....

I have been experimenting with a truespot lens. I have not been able to shoot much at all. I am still taking care of Sarah and hoping she stays pregnant for two more weeks and we are in the clear.

It is a very interesting feel and I am shooting well with it. I decided to give it another go after Jessie Broadwater's success in Vegas and his overall success with his Xview lens from brite site, and Dietmar Trillus' records with his duplex lens.

here is a close approximation of what it looks like..... I will post more soon. I am hoping to try it with a couple more power options

Online archery needs something new! www.archerylearningcenter.com

Several years ago I was a large part of the creation of archerytalk.com. It has been a great service to the archery community and it has been a great place to get together and swap gear and have fun, but I feel that it has become so big and the focus has become fragmented to the point that it doesn't fill the purpose that it was originally intended.

I think it is time for a change.

I have started a new board with lots of cool features. I intend this place to be heavy on community and information exchange. I feel that education makes a big difference in the health of the archery community.

Please drop in and help me get this rolling in the right direction.

The board is a work in progress and I am open to ideas and if any of you are good web guys, let me know. I could use the technical help.

The baby is FINE!!!!!

Sarah is out of the hospital and she had to do another week of strict bedrest at home, but everything went so well, the doctor has relaxed her restriction and she is able to move around the house again. The baby is developing right on track and we need 3 more weeks of oven time for term. Any more weeks closer to 40 weeks will just be gravy on top. :)

Thanks to everyone who send cards, PMs, and well wishes. It really makes me feel good to get such a response from my archery friends.
