Looking around at my disorganized bows, arrows, quivers, strings and other stuff, I realized I need a Bow Butler. A Personal Archery Assistant (APA). Or, like the knights of old had, a squire!
There's not enough time to shoot. When I do have the time, I don't like spending it doing anything but shooting. But with a lot of bows and new bows, things get messy. So I need someone to:
Organize and put bows away, along with arrows.
String and unstring bows and adjust brace height.
Put quivers and arrows back where they should go.
Unpack new bows, pack bows I'm shipping out.
Organize and put away points, nocks, rests, plates, silencers, etc.
Put silencers on strings.
Tie nock threads on strings.
Repair arrows with broken nocks or loose/torn feathers.
Clean and wax, polish or buff bows.
Refinish bows.
Update records of bought, sold, and traded bows.
Track bow shipping and pick up bows at the post office when needed.
Other stuf!
Ever feel this way? How do you minimize non-shooting archery tasks? Other than having only one or two bows.
