Hampton Kennedy replied to Kevin B.'s discussion Archery"I am big in to bowhunting, so I can help if thats what you are planning on doing. I have a bear Strike, which is a decent bow for the price. I would recommend saving up and getting a Matthews Z7 or a Hoyt. I plan on trading in my Bear Strike for a…"
Karl Helweg replied to Kevin B.'s discussion Archery"I am also a traditional archery type.
You might want to check out one of your many local archery clubs and stores before buying. The ranges might have a variety of gear for you to try so that you have a better idea of what you like now. …"
Sam I. replied to Kevin B.'s discussion Archery" Hey Kevin, you're picking a great hobby to get into. Beyond the initial investment, the only extra cash you will spend will be fixing arrows that get messed up.

Hey guys, ever since I first held a bow in high school I've always wanted to get into archery, but I haven't seriously considered it until now. Me and a couple friends were talking about buying a compound bow and hitting the range.Are there any archers here? I'm obviously a beginner and not sure what to look for in a bow. Also, as a university student, funds are tight. I hope to change that in the summer. Any recommendations for a decent quality bow at a fair price? And any other advice would…See More
Kevin B. replied to Kevin B.'s discussion What to do"Yeah that's what I figured. Thanks for all the input guys."
"Agreed with the rest. She isn't interested. It sucks learning like this, good lord I don't envy you right now. But learn it well so you don't waste time in the future.
The worst part is that as far as the two dates, there…"
Nick H replied to Kevin B.'s discussion What to do"Sorry Kevin, it sucks but it didn't work out. It happens. Some women (and guess some guys) get caught up when meeting a new person they are in to and move quick in the excitement. Then after a date or two their brains catch up and they realize…"
Grant Longden replied to Kevin B.'s discussion What to do"Larry covered it pretty well, she's not looking for a relationship with you. By the care you put into the two dates you sound like a decent guy so she was probably seeing if there was a spark there, but there apparently isn't. So best…"

I met a girl a few months ago. She came to a new years party I was throwing at my house, and then we hung out with friends a few times after that. I started to like her and I thought she kind of liked me to, so I asked her out. We started texting quite a bit and she really seemed into me. We went skating and went for coffee after, and we really hit it off. We kissed at the end of the night, and she asked me to text her when I got home.A week later we went out again, but it just felt off. She…See More
Jeff replied to Kevin B.'s discussion Things you do because of AoM"I now use Spell-check for everything I post, to save the inevitable dismissal of a point of view simply because of a misspelling or grammatical error.

Ali Opecancope replied to Kevin B.'s discussion Things you do because of AoM"I've found my political views have changed quite a bit since I've started reading this site."
Mark Starr replied to Kevin B.'s discussion Things you do because of AoM"Agreed.
It doesn't matter what you shave with, what you wear, if you drink coffee, tea, or wheatgrass juice in the morning, if you know 20 different ways to tie a tie, or what you carry in your pockets.
I have to wonder if people are only…"
