Hello all!

I've been diagnosed since i was 14.

I have 3 years of university under my belt but i'm currently self educating by learning new languages. I hope to become a translator/interpretor someday.I currently speak English,french fluently and learning Spanish

My favorite passtimes involve projectile weapons: archery (i own a 50 lbs. longbow) and Tomahawk throwing.I'm grateful that i live in the country with a large yard. :wink:

my interest involve ancient history,cartoons & animation,Star wars (my biggest passion),Tokusatsu (japanese superhero shows ex.power rangers).I also collect action figures.

Welcome! I've always wanted to give archery a try, especially the longbow. What are they like to shoot?

It was a mistake of mine to get a 50 lbs longbow. I was thinking in terms of power and force, that i din't realize how much arm strength it takes for me to fire my bow.That said, i highly reccomend an adult start with a 35-40-45 lbs bow.As a refference,warbows in the middle ages had at least 100 lbs draw weight.

To correct that i need to hit the gym and build upper-body strength.

As a hobby, it's great because you get in touch with your primal roots and instincts.I also find it somewhat therapeutic.

Change of subject: is that CM Punk on your profile pic? 8O
