I can't begin to express the shock at learning about the passing of my dear friend Dave McCracken. I first met Dave back in 1992 I believe. Dave and I met on the old Prodigy Archery Bulletin board. Back when 2400 baud rate was king. Dave and I shared a love and passion for Archery and we...

I'll be in Iowa shed hunting on my new place!

What do you call somone who can shoot with naray a miss from the very moment they pick up a gun? Do you beleive some people have a gift or talent for shooting? I think Hand/eye coordination is a BIG factor so therefore someone with those abilitities might shine, but in any event is...

HSSMITH, Dave and I have been friends for close to a decade so it's an inside joke about hiding toy expenses from the wives. Like you said I bet there are a lot of guys out there who have secrets with their buddies about the true cost of their obession with guns or hunting that dear wife is...

Just teasing you Dave, but blackmail, friendly blackmail can be fun. ;)

Dave, Now I know we are great friends and all, but if you didn't tell lovely wife then I must charge you a $25 Top Secret Fee.:p
