It has come to my attention that there are several things in this life that are particular annoyances to the archer and bowhunter; not life-threating, of course, just a pain in the anatomical structures. Some are true pains, some more figurative in nature, but nonetheless....pains.
The two that come to mind as I sit here are as mentioned in the title: Plantars Warts and Armchair Physicists. To the bowhunter, both can cause both pain and fits of confusion if allowed to fester: :rolleyes:
1. The Plantars Wart (PW), has no active mind to reason with, and can't intentionally create issues with your physche....it's just a pain in the foot. It is an annoyance but is unable to expand its horizons to include misinformation, or disinformation; nor can it expound on the pythagoran theorem, while eating a donut and drinking coffee. It can be treated however, which makes it more of a minor annoyance and only temporary.
2. The armchair physicist (AP), has an active mind, but not the ammunition to shoot accurately with it, and subsequently can be a pain in the area of the gluteous maximus. It can expound on assorted theorem, but usually....and most often lacks, or omits substantive fact, other than the second hand kind derived at through a casual and accidental meeting with another of its kind. :scared:
I watch as the deer gets closer...it will soon be a mere seventeen and three tenths of a yard from my ambush point. Again...."What if you hit heavy bone? That measley, ultra-sharp, two blade head has two bevels! Do you really think you can kill a whitetail with that...at that distance?"
STOP!!!! Oh the humanity! :confused:
I am now so nervous as the deer is close. Just one more step, quartering very sligthly....front foot forward, I'm ready to loose the shaft. Then....I hear it....the deer hears it....a rumbling that is permeating the whole area of forest that we occupy. At first it is a low hum, then it gets louder....deeper in tone until it reverberates through the hollows. The deer explodes in fear, I let down my bow as we are engulfed with the phenomenon. Like a sonic boom it echoes...."WHATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSYOURRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCC????????" :banghead:
It was over in an instant. The deer was gone and I was alone again. I could see no one in sight. Could it have been all in my head? Surely....I heard it...the deer heard it. Was I dreaming?
Oh well....I sat down for a minute on the nearest stump, removed my boot and scratched my PW. Time to move along...there's another stretch of woods ahead...maybe????
I know an AP that can tell you all about your PW.
lol
My trouble is I let the AP get under my PW where they both wind up a PITA.
Good start to the day George..... ;)
IMHO, FWIW, the PW & AP are both a PITA & should be made to go AWOL, ASAP.
:knothead: :help: Thanx George of the reminders. :campfire:
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!
TGIF
:~)
Shoot straight, Shinken
It must be raining in the Quaker State this morning. The zeal of thine house hath eaten you up.
'Thoust are mistaken, oh lover of Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps (original doowoppers) 8^)....I am merely waiting for the acrylic to dry on my longbow riser 8^))))).
I-T-G-A-I-W-B-T-G-T-B-T!!!!!!!,,,lol
God bless,Mudd
Would a correct para-phrase be? ..Gimme a break!...?
Thanks George!! Much needed lighter side.
Thank you George-------we all needed that.
Thanks, I agree that we all needed that. I am glad that I am old enough to remember a much simplier archery without the tech stuff.
I'm glad I didn't have anything in my mouth when I read that!!!!!
Made my morning as well George!

From a *young guy* that often feels like an old guy - RIGHT ON, BROTHER!
I think learning to walk before you run is the right way to approach archery and bowhunting - as well as life. Too many folks want to run before they even put the shoes on.....I could say something about running and plantar warts, but I think I've mixed enough metaphors already...

Too funny!!! :bigsmyl:
If I use my pignut and tan Bear Razorheads with the bleeder blades for turkey, will the voice talk to me too? Now I'm scared, because it is ??lbs. @ ??" and my arrows are ?gpi and ??% foc. They are 27"bop I hope that is enough.
:notworthy:
Good one George. :thumbsup: My leading principle and the reason I got into trad archery is K.I.S.S. - keep it simple, stupid!
Thank you George...it really gets ridiculous reading some of this "stuff" sometimes :thumbsup: .
My Dad said the very same thing last week when I visited in "The Home". I still remember chasing his arrows in the field across the road from the house circa 1958.
You said it George!!! Thank you.
George, I think it would be a shame if "writing a book" wasn't on your bucket list. :notworthy:
Is your PW interferring with your AP, or cognitive dissonance (CD), messing with your psyche (PS)?
CD can be caused by owning too many bows and too many arrows, which ultimately leads to early senior moment (SM).

Sounds like a pain in the you know what....
Technically I am an engineer, not a physicist, I guess that makes me an Arm Chair Engineer (ACE).
Just one question George, who came up with the fancy acrylic finish your coating that bow with? Sure wasn't a PW or a Stick in the Mud (SIM), perhaps a Crusty Dinosaur (CD). Me thinks it must have been a AP or more likely an Arm Chair Chemist (ACC).
Loved the post George, as usual funny and to the point.
Because you didn`t connect with some venisen, maybe you could slice off the PW, fry it in butter and onions, and feed it to the AP.
Just sayin`.
Oh man, right when I thought I was making progress, now I've got to keep my AP away from my PW, and keep my EFOC from consuming them both! "Oh, The Humanity" is right.
too funny. you must be hanging out too much on the ***********.
:bigsmyl:
If you want to get rid of a PW don't waste your money on acids, medications etc. use the Red grenn method. I had one and covered it up with duct tape for ten days. it just fell out and hasn't been back since. old hockey players trick,
I'm not a doctor but i did stay at a holiday inn last month. :rolleyes:
just trying to keep things simple
Try Vicks on the PW. You're stronger than the AP and you know it. Good stuff.
:thumbsup:
Now thats funny right there I don't care who you are thats funny!!! I had a PW when I was a teenager and it was one of the most painful things I've ever had! Good Post George.
Good one George. That voice wasn't the Doctors voice was it?
george, the pw needs physical attention, but like the on/off button of a tv you can easily dismiss any mental strife caused by 'ap' types with merely a mouse click.
dude, you're waaaaaaaaaaay overdue for a looooooooong vacation. :rolleyes:
and so is this thread. :saywhat: :wavey:
