Title: loosing mind at prep school
Post by: pincushin on October 12, 2014, 11:13:46 pm

So I landed myself a spot at Choate and Rosemary Hall prep school playing on the football team. I had to move from Wyoming to Connecticut. I am not allowed to keep any archery equipment in my dorm room and I think I am quiet possibility going crazy not building and shooting wood bows.

Tough break, kid!  Time for you to cultivate some local archery friends.  Can you at least keep the basic tools?

Start reading everything you can get your hands on archery related. Then do all your papers and reports on archery related matters. That at least will keep it fresh in your mind.

     Oh my God, did you hear about that guy in the dorm the swat team surrounded, and broke into his room, and dragged him away?!! :o  He was making gasp, stone knives, and arrowheads, so they could not be detected by the college security, and airport scanners!  I think, I need to go sit down and have a double Swiss cocoa, California cherry, Chia seed latte!  Maybe I could call Mother, and she can console me like does whenever there is a thunder storm.... :P  OK, you can't have a bow and arrow in the dorm....... so uh, make miniature ones, as uh, research projects for the thesis you are doing for graduation..... Yeah, that's the ticket.....  Hmmmm, some little full circle horn bows, like the Japanese women of nobility carried in their carriages.  Quite deadly little boogers.  Uh, I mean, quite silly, little toys...... ::)  You could say, you are testing the properties of various materials, and their tension strength, when used in combinations...... ;)
