Hello, Kathy! Still busy as a bee. I missed all of you. Maybe when things slow down a bit, I can hang out with everyone. But know that I'm always thinking of you guys. Hope all is well on your end.

*HUGS* and have a good evening.

From the men in the Military and the Canteen

"The Mongol bow is not as large and long as the English one, but it is vastly more powerful. The draw weight of an English longbow averages around 70-80 pounds, whereas the Old Mongol bow had a pull that, according to George Vernadsky, averaged at around 166 pounds."

The beau with the best bow usually triumphed, all other things being equal...MUD
