Who is going to the DC show tonight? Busting out my custom Vans for the occasion.
Kids got me these a few years back, and these are the only shows I wear them to.

Do you think your kids will end up better off than you are now when they reach our age? Why/why not?
About to be empty nesters and wondering what the future holds for my twins and the oldest when they graduate college. Between AI and the economic trends of recent decades, I am not sure I can confidently say they will end up ahead of the game.

New to ASL long bow shooting but not trad archery. I picked up a Mushin Styk in the same weight as my recurve, and am feeling it in different muscles- particularly my upper traps. Wondering what to tweak.
I think the low wrist grip, lower brace height, and slightly more open stance have thrown everything out of whack. Looking for tips and recommendations for videos to watch as I work this out.

I am a big fan of Cone Head full strength beers, and this did not disappoint. Absolutely loaded with layered flavor.
Their full strength beers are all a touch sweet, but not overbearingly so and that translates really well here. The grain bill also keeps this beer full bodied, well balanced by the Motueka, Strata, Simcoe, and Nelson Sauvin hops.
5/5 will buy again.

These two are both delicious on their own, but sometimes the grilled pineapple is a too sweet for what I am looking for. Blended them together last night for some grilled pork and it was amazing. Just sweet enough and layers of flavors with the heat.
I may need to let el Yuc know about this.

Well that was humbling. Picked up a St Patrick Lakes Mushin Styk at ETAR. Coming from recurve, it's a whole different game. Welcoming any and all tips.
Very glad I found one with a dished grip. The carbon and wood looks fantastic, and this thing is smooth and zippy. 39#@29. I am still trying to dial in the grip, and my first few ends were all over the place. Didn't take a pic of my best end, but it wasn't much better than what you see here- 25 yards, just for the heck of it. Need to spend some blank bail time.

Dad's who are empty nesters now- gotta any tips or "watch out for"? Oldest will be a junior in college this year and now the twins are heading off as well. We haven't had a house to ourselves in 20 years, and I am already missing them!
We do a lot of fun things with our young adult kiddos, travel, concerts, the twins share my principal hobby. I am starting to feel lonely already as I look at the concert schedule in our area for the fall.

What's a simple thing that would make Dad life (and Mom life) easier? My vote: resealable cereal bags being standard.
It's 2026 man. Why doesn't the giant Cheerios bag close?!

There is a town called Jersey Shore in the middle of Pennsylvania. Told a local I was planning to visit it while I am nearby and his advice was "don't, you'll be very disappointed." How bad can it be?
The conversation with that local also included the sprinkles/jimmies question. Team jimmies all the way.

NBD! My first ASL. St. Patrick Lake Mushin Styk. 39# @ 29 in., carbon backed, dished grip, not cut to center. What do I need to know coming from trad recurve?
Sorry for the pics, best I could do tonight.

Stayed home sick today. Watched some old Price is Right, ate a bunch of saltines with ginger ale, and then had a Van Damm mini marathon.
If you have to be sick, this is the way to do it. 1982 episode, I was 10. Perfection.

Was supposed to leave for ETAR today, woke up sick as a dog. Pushing til tomorrow, so I put Limbsations on my DAS carbon fiber limbs.
Dark Burl Limbsations paired with a P2P 19 in Wenge riser.

Dads with kids away in college (or just out of the house)- do you have some sort of power of attorney for them? What's in it, and how did you decide on that?
My son's college recommends having a medical POA at a minimum for HIPAA reasons and I am wondering what else we might want to consider, what triggers it, etc. I am probably just going to go to an attorney but like to go in prepared.

Started face walking as I push my distances out- for those who use this method, how many anchors do you use, and at what distances? Any tips for dialing this in?
Shooting recurve, instinctive, off the shelf, right at about 40#. Currently at a top of cheekbone anchor for 30 yards and under, hinge of jaw out to 40. I think if I want to get to longer ranges I might need to go an almost Olympic hold.
Note this is field and 3d only, not hunting.

How many folks are using vehicle levellers? Trying to decide if these would be worth the space they would take, or if I am better off trying to level my bed platform as needed.
I will almost always be parking off road/not in a paved lot.

Looking for recommendations for a grip wrap for the summer. Shooting a wood handled bow and sweat is making my grip terrible.
So far considering: baseball grip tape, tennis racket tape, or the sport wrap that only adheres to itself. Not sure if the name of that one.

Not an original thought, but we need a defined home kit that endures. Here's my bid. Have at it.
And yes, I used AI to generate this. I am not a graphic artist. I gave it the prompts I like from kits over the years- white shirt with sash, blue shorts, red socks, subtle details, and the away kit ideas.

My teens came across the Marilyn Manson rib removal story somewhere and asked if I had heard of it. Of course I had. Then they asked how stiff spread before the Internet. How did we all know the same things?
I am guessing word of mouth, cousins networks, etc, but damn that system was efficient.
Edit: if this example is too close to the Internet age go back farther. Yes, people spoke to each other. Still interesting to me how quickly rumors and gossip took hold seemingly coast to coast in a time where the majority of homes probably only had one phone line and long distance was expensive.
