[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2048826, member: 63925"] Young, haha! 70 years young! I probably did my damage when I was a blacksmith for a profession for 3 years, rode rodeo and gymkhana when my professional career got derailed in the 1973 recession for a while. Never owned a horse until I was 22 when I met a girl that had them and off I went! I ended up teaming up with her brother as a blacksmith and it was fun time but dang, do you take a beating!! One of us got kicked probably once a week. Backyard horses will kill you. They don't know they are horses and have no manners. AT least until we get there. Funny how life is but broke up with girl friend but stayed teamed up with her brother as a blacksmith since I actually liked it. All came to an end fast when recession broke and I got a nice job which jump started my professional career back up. But the beating was pretty bad both on the job and while riding. Could not get me drunk enough to get on a bull but did take a beating on saddle bronc. I preferred team roping and bull dogging since with my size bull dogging was actually in my favor. I just wish the xbow users had more understanding of flight time versus deer movement etc. Plus lack of fundamental arrow performance is really stark in the xbow world unless they are getting tuned arrows from someone. But do they understand arrow dynamics? They still apply with xbow. Any vertical bow guy that takes up a xbow will tune it much differently than one that knows nothing of arrow flight from a vertical bow. The Stryker 380 shot light arrows which I changed out to heavier FMJ's to get the penetration down range that is needed for mechanicals. The velocity only dropped to 355 which didn't matter since they carried velocity further. Down range inertia is foreign to most of these guys but if you are a vertical bow guy you understand them for shooting longer range and still have penetration. Which is why I still shoot heavier spine than most with Thunderheads since the day they came out in the 80's. [/QUOTE]
