I am sure I am not the first to ask, but has anyone come up with a thread for glossary of terms?
Maybe something everyone can just add to as they think of it.

I know there is gonna be a dictionary of trad terms in the new TBB4 if you can wait
There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach

"which broadhead is best?" : a question asked mostly after bowseason; to create long discussion threads.                                
                                                 "Sweet" : does NOT refer to the taste of a bow; but instead- the way it shoots.                                          
"trophy" : ANY animal taken with a traditional bow.

"creepy" : when your draw length decreases by inches just before a shot.

"deflection"- a missed shot excuse
"it will be good eaten" - what you say when your buddy shoots a small deer
" pass through " a deer walking by and you not ready to shoot
" shooting lanes " -area between the neighbors house and yours used for target practice
" hunt of a lifetime "- what you tell your wife every year when you want to go on an out of state hunt
NO matter where you go there you  are !

Curtiss Cardinal

*quiver*- what your whole body does when a big buck starts to walk within range.
*brace*- what you'll be in eventually if you hunt from treestands without a safety harness.
*aiming*- have intentions to do something. As in, "I am aiming on going hunting this weekend."
*snort wheeze*- the noise your hunting buddy makes after taking a snort of the Moonshine that southern guide offered him.
*grunt tube*- the handle of your deer drag.
*rut*- a prolonged period of inexplicable bad shooting or hunting.
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare. ~Mark Twain

Rob,
According to your terms, I hope your knife that is on its way doesn't "got Mojo"  :bigsmyl:  

I thought I was the only one that ate burritos before hunting.   :D

"Spew" - - - What I did when I read this!!
If at first you don't succeed, do it like your wife told you to, to begin with.

@#$!! means a miss

"Mojo"  is a term commonly encountered in the African-American folk belief called hoodoo. A mojo is a type of magic charm, often of red flannel cloth and tied with a drawstring, containing botanical, zoological, and/or mineral curios, petition papers, and the like. It is typically worn under clothing.
Is it too late to be what I could have been?

I couldn't find the glossary. ks_stickbow didn't open for me.  How is brace measured? From string to the back or the belly of the handle?

Usually from the string to the deepest part of the grip.

Funny stuff on here!
