impromptu a&s night

Postby Milan of Amber » Thu Jan 31, 2008 4:21 pm

random is as random does.

5:45pm my place to 10-ish, if people want to get together and swing foam or work on stuff, I'll be at my place, doing some sewing and polearm-making.

I will be leaving for an hour inbetween that time but I'll still leave my place open to the knights of nerf.

I'll be kicking people out at 10 due to my having to get up at 5am on Friday.

refreshments for those above 21. I might even bbq if pressed. (and if I clean off the back porch)

tweak is at work until 8 or 9, so she'll be absent until later. The war tortoise will be guarding the front door.

Argueing with Randy is like mud wrestling with a pig. You'll both get dirty, but the pig likes it.

Unfourtunatly I am unable to attend, due to the fact that I was just up there! If I had known prior to getting off work I would have come. Hopefully I will make it some other time.

Considering its 9:30, I'm gonna say that I can't make it....

Yes... and it is a 62" take down recurve.

FYI... I worked with Dean @ Performance Archery.

I got the 66" 34# Victory take-down recurve.

Now every shot, is a Victory shot. If only I could have gotten 'Money' on the bow instead...

My new toys.

those sheets would be so much more in tune to your room if you had actually seen the floor of a navy vessel before.

P.S.

Thank you to lag for threadjacking my post. ;) (editors note: this is an inside joke between lag and I)

So my current late night project is an arrow quiver. (ghetto style) And actually I woke four hours ago, so I really consider this morning for me.

I have a camping chair bag and I'm trying to use it. I've run into a couple problems
  • The bag is too long
  • The opening is flimsy hampering ease of placing arrows into quiver
  • only one vertical strap
  • I'm all out of bubble gum. Image

I took care of birds one and two with one stone. I took a metal clothes hanger and put it through the top to give it rigidity. I then folded the top down about eight inches. Then I folded upwards at the 4(ish) inch mark under the original flap. I took two spare gator clipped wire leads and threaded them through to prevent the folds from coming undone. (cut my finger in the process. Which finger? Not the index or pinkie, or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
when you don't give a fuck.)

The issue with the bag having a vertical strap is this. The bag sits at an angle nonconducting of a good quiver. *IF* It stays on my shoulder top up I still have to worry about spinning too fast and my arrows flying out. Otherwise the top heavy bag just tips over and dumps the arrows.

I'm looking for some way to keep the bag as vertical and tight to my body as possible. I swing/run/bounce around too much for a loose fitting quiver to work.

Theories
  • Wrap secondary belt between bag and body (entrapping carry strap) and secure the strap to the belt with rope/string/twine/spare wire meant for an F/A-18
  • {work method...ugh}Sew another strap to the bag so that the bag has two anchors holding it upright. Not sure this will work as the first strap is vertical. Wearing it like a traditional backpack won't work, the straps have to cross. If I sew another vertical strap and then cross them on my body as I put the quiver on I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty uncomfortable
  • Fabricate something that connects the bottom of my bag to a static spot on my Kilt/Squires Belt

HELP ME AMTGARD!
