Just a short Hello to everyone I know and all my mates here on TradGang. I've just been able to get online at a US base here in northern Iraq. The contract I've been on has had me working flat out as well as not being near a puter to log on and such.
But enough of that, and this place!
I've had a quick look-in at some threads and its good to see people hunting and spending time in the outdoors. Working out here sure makes things look a whole lot clearer. Be thankfull for the things you have in life not the have nots. Kiss your kids, hug your wife (or hubby!) and shoot some arrows!
Naturally I've ordered a new bow as a treat... :saywhat: .... It's a Black Widow PLX in KingWood, 65#@30" and a 64" bow. I also ordered it in the old LAG grip as I think I'll like it more than the newer type. On the count down now...
Sorry to all if I've been not replying to any emails, kinda hard where I was and what I was doing. But I fly home in two days for my month off so I'll catch up with you all then.
Stay safe all, kind regards...
Al Kidner.
Oh and I must say Danny is a champ for passing on that bow too.
Glad you're safe.
Gil
