Correct me If I am wrong, but was it not you who once offered a beating to an older member over an Internet argument, by traveling to Virginia (where you were going anyway) ? I recall this beating was to be administered without use of your hands due to your superior skills in Martial arts? This example of your behavior does not in my opinion speak well of your OWN skills in "relating to another person" and I find it very odd that someone so obviously lacking in interpersonal skills feels free to point out that same short coming in others.
In my own experience with martial arts instructors, I thought one of the basic principles of teaching was to build good character, including self control, respect for others, discipline, courtesy etc. I believe you stated you had studied with a famous and most excellent instructor, who must have taught you these principles and yet you were willing and even eager to beat another forum member over an Internet spat. I find this behavior most incongruous with the teachings of martial arts.
As another forum member recently pointed out, many of your posts are rambling and incoherent and yet this has not stunted your monumental bravado as you have reminded us all ad nauseum of your great strength, size, and unparalleled skill with both rifles and bows presenting yourself as no less than a modern Hercules. I, for one, have never witnessed such Herculean narcissism. Ever.
As a member here for about ten years, I realize that no one gets the last word in conversation with you, and I will not attempt to here, my point is simply this: The talk you talk is in sharp contrast to the walk you walk-------------Pard!
Wow!
I must have impressed you! I can't even remember who that was or why it all started. I do remember something about getting in the ring with someone and having a friendly go to. No hard feelings. heck up here for fun we drink beer and then try to throw each other in the creek its all fun bro.
Do I think I am Hercules

Nope. However I am not the right person to call me a liar or a *** cause she ain't one.
What I say I can do, I can do period. If you can do it it ain't lying. Boasting,ya maybe sometimes I might. Probably a little security issue with myself??? Maybe not.
I am proud of things I have done that I have paid my dues and thus it could be good or be bad?? However one views it.
Now, speaking of lying ?? You son might be stretching the truth a tad. Example, where did I say I am an expert with a bow??
Only thing I can ever remember discussing bows is myself getting whipped trying to pull a bunch back when I went looking for a bow, or two when the issue of what is more accurate a scoped crossbow or a regular bow??
My view was sure as heck for me a scoped rifle type setup crossbow on a concrete shooting table is better. For me.
Which means shooting bows I being compared to many on here, I su##
The strength thing. Yep, I am strong.I think I mention it more now as I age. Honestly as I think about it I don't know many people half a century old that can do many reps of over 225lbs or use 200lbs as their warm up weight. That's right I just start at 200lbs to warm up. never pull anything. guess I am proud of that. Boasting ??? ya probably!
Shooting, yes I am cocky about that but I can back it up so its being just kinda cocky. Guess that is being of a competitive nature all my life. how bout you?
Mentioning my size??? I see that no different than someone 400lbs mentioning theirs. Just can't help that I am just a big dude. I am glad too. maybe you are not don't know?
My Sensei ?? did I do some things that he frowned upon ?? Sure didn't like myself wearing a team jacket into a bar.Probably cost me an additional year and $$$$ to get where I wanted to get.

Young and foolish and full of testosterone.
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
Don't do it now!
But on other stuff I like competition. Heck I would like to be arm wrestling you all at the campfire???
But,as a friend or to someone I respect I am a true friend!
That remark because that vaccine had been discontinued (the first one) and I was under the impression the new one had recently came out, guess its my bad? but to say basically everything you say is either a lie or is kludged, yep pard you ticked me off a tad.
We will let it go though, cause I have the feeling you have a hang up on someone that is decent sized and can take care of themselves. maybe you were stuck in the toilet repeatedly during gym class or maybe not ?? I don't know?? Don't care.
The no hands thing ?? probably wasn't the brightest thing to say, course I am not the brightest. Maybe you are.
Heck, get some weights, man up, get feeling good about yourself and my post won't traumatize you so much. heck even come up here and I will help you pard!
