I knew that book from memory and used one of his Bighorn TD recurve bows for many years. Good memories for sure.
I never developed a proficiency with the longbow that I did with a recurve.
“Rat killin” - means I am fixin to run some errands.
“It’s too wet to plow” - my PaPa is fixin to bust my ***.
“That’s neither here nor there” - means shut the *!@# up.
