Wheeewww, I believe I'll stay with the second week group, some of you first weeker's are a tad "odd" for my taste!

Hey Larry I told you.They were all a tad odd to say the least.bd

[Bill Kissner]

I think most of us were normal 'til we hooked up with Bowdoc!     At least I am claiming I was!!   :D

[Curveman]

I agree-bd's gravitational pull will make all yer dogs bark at the moon! The man's a FORCE!        

[d. ward]

and I thought I was the only normal one.bd

[meathead]

Maybe Abbey Normal.

I thought bd was fine, the rest of the crew had me a little worried. Matty is young, he could turn out OK with enough better living through chemistry and EST to calm down the violent tendencies.

Granola Boy, you gotta stop watching the Cobert Report threat count down - bears are not that scary.

[Matty]

Slight continuation then I gotta hit the hay. I know you guys think I'm nuts But I told you some of the pics would be worth it.  
Anyway, I got the short Bow shooting pretty well with the Heavy arrow at short distances and the time was creeping near.  with all my arrangments in place. I decided I would Fly into Newark Hang out with my family on Staten Island for a day then Drive up to toms house on Friday, leave by noon get there for 5, Hunt for the week then return to the Island for another week then Back to Colorado.  SO I spent ALL of tuesday night packing (I mean ALL) decided to put My ACS into my suitcase (for backup??) and put my Pearson in a Hard GUN CASE for protection.wed at the airport I told the people at check in that It's Just a bow and arrows NOT a gun and I wanted it checked LIKE A GUN x-rayed the whole shebang, it went Smooth.  All I had to do was hope it was in 1 pc. on the other side. well needless to say it arrived as planned but the case was a wreck lIke some Schmuck tried to pry it open to see what was inside...Theres a suprise...
SO I had a day to kill in NY so I figured I would do Some Practicing, BUt My Parents Have No trees to speak of where I could hang a stand, and of course what the hell am I going to Shoot at???  Well as a shooting addict we make things happen in a pinch.  OK so I found in the garage A Large Box that once housed some Lawn furniture or something like tat Filled it with other  boxxes and BAM! target Now How the hell am I going to Simulate Shooting at aproximately 10 yards from a tree??
WELL....Turns out that My parents have a bathroom where the door is adjacent to the basement where the target will sit.... AND THIS IS THE RESULT...

[fatman]

Perfect!....necessity is a Mother  

[Grant Young]

You're a brave man Matty...we've all done stuff like this but almost never talk about it...and Pictures? Your candor is indeed impressive, LOL.  Grant

[Curveman]

Matty, I think a toilet seat treestand may be the perfect set up for you on BQ! If your fear of bears gets the best of you and you "lose it"-no dry cleaning! If you, "hold it together" you'll have space for spare gloves, etc.-maybe you can even rig up some sort of camelpak system to the tank and stay well hydrated!    

[meathead]

I am glad he didn't show us pic's of him practicing his shot from the shi I mean sitting position.

[leatherneck]

Man, I've been away from this post for a while and look what has happened. Is this what this hunt does to a man? Shooting from the pot?      
Thats what I like about you all.    

Curve:    Thats all I have to say.

[d. ward]

I had to come back and look at Matty on the crapper one more time.bd

[Bahrzoo]

Bowdoc, How is that weather in the great northwest? 70 degrees and no humidity?

[Bill Kissner]

Good one Steve!!

[tarponnut]

Doesn't everyone have a bathroom archery range?

[tippit]

Matty, Perfect!!  Now come back next year with the toilet and sit with PV in his blind.  As he shot his bear at 6 feet from the blind, that toilet might just come in handy to help cure you of your Bear Fever    Doc

[Shaun]

See, I told you Matty was a keeper like the bow Dr. That is the closest approximation of a tree stand shot I've ever seen for indoors.
