I'm going to make an attempt to tell you all what your prayers, e-mails, PMs, and friendships mean to me. I think that it's human nature that once you become to know someone a little, you call them a friend when they are actually merely an aquantance. How lucky would we be that we would become true friends with everyone that we met. Extremely lucky, I say. That is what happened when I joined this forum after breaking my back and purchasing the best crossbow in the world.

I have learned about foc, how to fletch bolts, how to sharpen broadheads and knives, how to set up ground blinds, how to track a wounded animal, and a lot about life, friendships, integrity, honesty, pain, and how a man should carry himself. I even learned how to properly eat an oreo :wink: .

All the words in the world can't desribe what you folks mean to me.

I wonder when Bill T and Kath started all of this, that they had any idea of what they were going to accomplish. Not only build the best crossbows in the world, but also build a brotherhood of hunters and shooters from around the globe that genuinely care about one another. My hats off to all at Excalibur.

Well I've rambled on enough, I think you guys know what I'm trying to say.


God Bless each and every one of you,
God Bless !!!!!!!!!

Ray,
We've never had the opportunity to meet face to face, but I feel like I know you anyway. Glad to hear you're doing better with your recovery, but remember - it takes time!
I crushed a vertebrae in my back (T-7) in the 1980's and it took a year for it to strengthen back up. I believe the worst pain and agony I ever suffered was about a month after the accident when the muscles along my spine went into spasms. I knew they were coming on - I knew they were going to hurt like crazy - and there was no way I could stop them! Luckily I live right next door to a hospital and the ER had some good medication on hand! :lol: I followed the doctor's orders carefully for that year after the accident and seldom have any discomfort from the injury today. :D Wish I could say the same for the rest of my aging body! :lol:

Ray I learned along time ago that a good prayer partner is priceless and you don't need to meet face to face to be real friends. Although the guys who I have meet from forums to hunt with after years of talking with them on the forums were like meeting up with a old friend and carring on with the relationship it's just that we have meet.

Glad you doing better and in Great spirits.

God Bless.

Well said Ray. There are a lot of good people on this forum and you can include yourself as one of the good ones Ray. I think were all just hoping that they have some break through in medicine to releive your pain.

Ray,

I am so glad to see you are starting to feel better and are posting on the forum again. It is amazing what happens when a group of people with like minds and similar interests get together. I also can say that this is the only forum I have ever really felt "at home" on.
