Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Recurve, you usually shoot an inch or 2 longer if you're finger shooting. Also, recurve is rated for the draw weight at 28" draw so a 50 pound recurve at 33" is probably closer to 55 or 60 pounds, if not more!

I've got a 54 pound recurve, 28" long (short?) and drawing at my 32" was ridiculous! My bow is way too short for a 32" draw. 😂
 
The first two look like my navel rings! Oh, i’ve said too much 🤭
Im intrigued by the fact that they look like those plates, not so much that you have them. Lol
 
Well, my background check finished today. I'll make contact tomorrow with their HR and, if they're satisfied with the results of my check, I start my new job on December 15th.

I do remember my bow was a little longer than most. I think it was like 66". I'm thinking it was rated at 50 lb but I don't remember for sure.

Yeah. My wife's recurve is a 30 or 35 pound but it's 52" so it's much easier to draw.
 
@tharbin Tom, Im excited to get this branching duncan tomorrow. I didnt know that such a thing even existed. I think the polyps are that ridiculous blue like yours has.

Nice Tim!
Way to go and I'm very happy for you 😊
 
Hi everyone. Sorry I couldn't keep up today. I was off work, but the kids had school. My wife took full advantage of the situation to get a number of minor honey-do projects taken care of. Thank you to all the veterans.

Good to see you Wes! Did you see @VintageReefer 's plates?!
How is your plate looking?
