Re: So Brave!
A friend of mine is about 1m55-1m60, and draws a 25kg (55lbs) womens' competition bow.Coito ergo sum wrote:I also take issue with this tiny girl's ability to pull the draw-weight necessary to fire a medieval bow. That's not a long bow, wouldn't a medieval bow have like a 60 pound draw weight, with long bows having draw weights from like 80 to well over 100)? And, women were like, averaging like 5' tall back then, weren't they?
Although, she was somehow able to flex and rip her own dress off with the force of her musculature....maybe she can caber toss too.
What say the bow-experts?

We have more fun together than apart. Why would we opt for less fun?

Boys, boys! Both your relationships are pretty.Coito ergo sum wrote:I have 100% freedom. I choose to do as much as possible with her, and She vice versa. I couldn't imagine it any other way.Gawdzilla wrote:We do everything we can together, but acknowledge that we don't have to everything together. More freedom that way.Coito ergo sum wrote:To each their own. We just do things together - things are more fun that way, for us.Gawdzilla wrote:I always tell Ayaan she can see another film if she's not interested in the one I'm wanting to see. Doesn't harm our relationship any, just an accommodation to different tastes.Coito ergo sum wrote:Of course, but we love each other, so we go places to be together. It's not about the film, it's about doing things with each other. I don't ask my best friend to go to the movies so I can sit in another room. If I did that, I'd go to the movie myself and meet her afterwards.

Re: So Brave!
I never said his wasn't. For some reason, the fact that I go to movies with SWMBO'd became a point of major concern with Ronja and Gawdzilla, who that I am to be pitied for not going to movies by myself and meeting up with SWMBO'd afterward. I at no point suggested that whatever others do is problematic.hadespussercats wrote:Boys, boys! Both your relationships are pretty.Coito ergo sum wrote:I have 100% freedom.

Sure, but what's so awesome looking about it? Looks like pretty standard fare, and the animation is Shrekish.hadespussercats wrote:I totally want to see it.

Re: So Brave!
I have a friend who is pretty exactly that size, too (she's shorter than Elder Daughter) and she can draw a bigger medieval replica bow than I can manage - and hit quite nicely, too. She has trained for over ten years, I haven't.leo-rcc wrote:A friend of mine is about 1m55-1m60, and draws a 25kg (55lbs) womens' competition bow.Coito ergo sum wrote:I also take issue with this tiny girl's ability to pull the draw-weight necessary to fire a medieval bow.

It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J
