    Starting the middle of next week Im flying to GA to see me son at Fort Benning. Ive booked the airfare, hotel and car and all systems are go. The wife and I were there before when he graduated from Basic Training. This time I go alone due to her work load. I hate flying, not for fear of flying but because of all the TSA bullchit and the way airlines treat people like cattle. Then I get back for a week at home and then leave again for a week in Chicago.

    Then it’s a few days out of the office to work the nation’s oldest and largest broadhead shoot thats been taking place for more than 65 years. ( I run a novelty broadhead shooting event on site) Then no more trips and its time to focus on bowhunting. Just gotta get past that next few weeks of hassles and running around.

    I've read your posts years ago on the WBA regarding the BH shoot. Sounds like a good time.

    While you're at Ft Benning, thank your son from all of us for selflessly serving America

    You should have read more closely and placed the quotes around the entire term. Like this:

    “novelty broadhead shooting event”

    There is a long list of novelty shoots one can run at archery events. Most events only use field points. We happen to run a broadhead only event hence the term “novelty broadhead shooting event”

    See the video link just one post above yours for a more complete understanding. Im not sure if you hunt or hunt with a bow or are an archer so I dont know your level of experience in such matters but that video will help.

    I think there are computers outside of WI. I think other states have become as modern as and advanced as WI so I would expect the interweb will have reached these other states by now.

    Well, Georgia is in the South. This interweb stuff is still new to us. You might have to put a quarter in the computer for it to start.

    Expected or hoped? I'm sure hand cranking is a common activity for you. Probably happens a lot when you are re-reading a lot of your posts.

    Briefly, I imagined it as a rubber chicken at the end of an arrow...
