Welcome to the world of horizontal archery and this site. My tour was back in 64-65 (my how time flies) medic, 85th Evac Hosp Qui Nhon. Those certainly were the days I'll never forget.

91B & 91C myself w/ the 73rd. Flew recon TO more than
I used my talents as a Medic. Spent most of my 13.5 month
tour hopping and humping around III Corp. Some days,
it's like it happened in a dream. Other days, well, you
know what those days are like.
I really feel for you guys that got stuck in the Evac Hosp's..
Spent a couple weeks in one as a patient (ecoli in the blood
system, you know the what and how) and went back
to the field thanking God I wasn't you. Brother, you have
my utmost respect for what you did and what you saw.

Try and get $5 or $10 off the Morrell, they are made here in Ar. Best production bag I've found. The 18-1 self seals where your bheads hit, lasts a lifetime for most shooters. Don't just assume you will be hitting same poi w/ bheads going from field points either .......

If you haven't done so yet, tear the bow down and blue loctite the trigger screws, 4 little mount screws and the stock and stirrup screws w/ blue/purple loctite.

Don't cut an allen wrench down to get at the back screw hole in rail, regular one fits thru threaded hole [for loctiting trigger] Yup, BTDT

Thanks for the tips.

Just placed an order for a Morrell Yellow Jacket Supreme,
Bushnell Bow Hunter ARC Range Finder, a few more Bolt
Cutters and arrows. Should be shooting by next weekend.
Sure hope so.
Thanks again,

Back in 69 when I came back from Nam, I couldn't buy a job.
I tried. I was on my way to the recruiter to go back in when I
stopped for a cup of coffee and picked up a newspaper. I
automatically checked the want adds and there was an add for
police officers, Vet Preferred, for Washington DC Metro. I'd
never given being a Cop a second thought before that but I figured
what the heck. They were at a hotel on the way to the recruiter
so I stopped and talked to them. The short of it, I was in DC the
next week. They'd found me an appartment and helped me move
from Tennessee to DC.
Back then, you started on the bottom. That meant you walked a
Beat after you finished the Academy. Only cars had radios, Flat
Foots had Call Boxes every 2 blocks and a big key. When you
made an arrest, you had to drag the sucker at least a block with
all his homies trying to steal him from you. When you got to the
Call Box, you cuffed him/her to the nearest pole, pulled out your
Call Box Key (looked like a big brass skeleton key) unlocked the
box and called for a Paddy Wagon. Fun times. Issue side arm was
a S&W model 10, 4 inch .38.. Only ammo allowed was 158 gr
lead round nose. (Hollow points were forbidden) And, you could
only carry 12 rounds. Six in the revolver and six in a belt pouch.
Carried a straight oak or hickory night stick that any beat cop
worth his salt learned to twirl by the leather wrist thong. One
set of cuffs, and a whistle. We had to buy our own flashlight.
No 700 lumens back then either. Didn't have LED's, just bulb
jobs that were more a threat to the officer than a tool to use
at night.
Of course it wasn't all bad. We still had the fleeing felon law
where if we had probable cause to believe a felony had been
committed and said person had committed that felony, if he didn't
halt when called upon to do so, we could shoot him. Miranda
hadn't hit the streets yet, so that wasn't a problem.
Yep, those were the days brother, those were the days.
Sorry you missed it.
