Seriously though, all of our camulitive lifetimes wouldnt be long enough for me to become an expert. But I still dearly love watching an arrow fly.

I always thoght that if I couldnt hunt I wouldnt shoot any more. But, today I shoot and look forward to the hunt. If I couldnt hunt I would probaly still shoot and look back on the hunts and memories.

First time I saw this was in Saxton Pope's "Hunting with the Bow and Arrow." It seems that he was describing Latins, Peruvians and the Irish as being as far from toxophilites as they cold be. (:

It never gets old for me, I think Fred Anderson explains it the best in the beginning of his new book...DB

Seems like ToxophilitesRUS.
Around here, an expert is someone who's more than 50 miles from home. ExpertsRUS.

I do not consider myself a toxophilite but I do go by the moniker Texophilite. L.

I am too fat to be a toxophilite, I am more like a toxophilheavy. Some how my front got bigger and I am not pregnant.
I met a toxophilite once, he said "Your bows and your arrows are simply gorgeous and you must tell me how you coordinated your wool ensemble, it really really works for you."

I consider myself a toxophilite. Even used the prefix for my outdoor website.

I don't think there is a true expert because that would mean you know it all and even the experts keep learning new things that they didn't
