I've been chasing Whitetails for about 40 years (started when i was 8) and killed my first two deer with a recurve bow.  Spent uncountable hours with a vertical bow in hand and have now fallen in love with the Crossbow.  I'm a mechanical engineer from Mid-Michigan and had the good fortune to hook up with the Bohning Archery gang about three years ago. The company I work for was commissioned to quote a modern Vane processing system for the Blazer vane.  I was given the assignment (due to my screaming and hollering to let me work with them) and I was able to concept and project manage the advanced processing system Bohning Archery now uses to make their famous BLAZER vanes. Its a "one of a kind" system in the entire world and I'm very proud of it.  I'm a do it yourselfer kind on person and build my own arrows, serve my strings, and all my bow maintenance.  I'm still learning a lot and hoping the veterns of this forum can help me with things to enhance my skills and knowledge of all things Crossbow.

Laura, its always great to see you.  IMO, you are the queen of Crossbows and I miss your posts as I see less of them since you took up the Michigan Cossbow Federation presidency.

Thank you again for the welcomes, all my new friends.  I'm here to learn, there is much more to these little machines than meets the eye.  But, I know it will be fun!
