A couple of weeks ago, one of the guys at Stowe Archers was kind enough to lend me his Tru Ball Sweet Spot Pro. I had expressed an interest in learning to use a hinge and, since he had a couple of trainers, he was happy to send me home with one. Since then, another member was kind enough to lend me his Tru Ball HT. I wound up really liking that release and began searching out one that I …

A couple of years ago I got this crazy idea that my family needed a garden. At the time we were eating a lot of fresh produce and it seemed silly to continue buying it from the grocery store when we could simply grow it ourselves. How hard could it be, right?

Over the weekend I made plans to get a few things done around the house that I’ve been putting off. One of those things was to install a new low-flow shower head to help conserve water.
