It's been a while since I posted anything and I do not really have an excuse except the common one of being busy. I post now to inform that my publisher is going to print with the first of the Muddle Puddle series. We investigated numerous ways of getting there including Amazon's nascent...

The conversation on this thread has again piqued my interest and I again find I wish to contribute my three penny worth. The debate of whether modern bows are more deadly than their ancestors depends in practice totally on the archer. To illustrate I once knew a dart player whose party piece was...

I'm 60 and its great to find a place to talk about a lifetime hobby, you're never too old to do a Monty Python and "now for something completely different" this is a great place to talk to those with the same problems.

:( I've never thought about having a user name, I suppose the Grumpy Druid would be most applicable except it sounds like a pub not a person.

Welcome and have fun, this is a great place to share your ideas and find out about how others have dealt with the frustrations.
