Bow Wow

I am a person who is never satisfied. I strive for something greater and larger in every aspect of my life. I do not like to settle and say I am complete with anything. I feel there is always room for more and always another chance at something. I live my life based on this idea and can never come to terms when a chapter is complete in my life. I spent two years planning my wedding, and once it was over, I longed to do it again. After we had purchased our first home, I began searching for another. This is something I struggle with daily. If there is something I enjoy doing, is creating new life. My greatest fear is finality and dealing with its consequences on an emotional level. I was not prepared for my child-bearing years to be over, but I also want to dedicate my life and love to the children I already have. Would having another child push my luck too far? About two months after we moved to our new home, I had dreams swirling in my mind of a blonde, fair-skinned, bright blue-eyed baby girl. All of my kids have black hair at birth and darker skin. They seemed to inherit the dark hair from me and tanned skin from my husband, Ryan. I knew with every ounce of my being that I was pregnant. I did not understand how it could have happened. We were so careful to not conceive again. How could I have missed a symptom of ovulation when I know my body so well? I was having a hard time dealing with the idea of never carrying a life in my womb ever again. Did I…

The bow had become non-existent from the first torpedo, the second struck midship on the starboard side neighboring a fuel tank and powder magazine. The subsequent explosion split the ship straight down to the keel, knocking out all electric power. Within minutes she went down swiftly by the bow, listing hard to starboard. Of the 1,196 souls aboard, about 900 made it into the water during those few minutes, before she sank. Few life rafts were able to be released from their staging positions.…

After that she uses a type of purple voodoo magic to keep me from using my legs. I thought she only used bow and arrows! She throws a purple source at the building, and it explodes. Millions of ashes explode into the air. It would be unlikely if anyone around that building survived. Adwoa digs her hands into the ground and breaks the floor open. She throws another purple gas at in the abyss, and fire blazes out of it. “It is finished!” she yells as she picks me up. But before she can throw…

at some point.” She wiped off her dagger and laid it neatly on a small table next to four other daggers. The next morning Viona awoke early, she had decided on finding a dragon; but first she would need a dragon to find. It was around four o’clock in the morning when she was finally finished with preparations for the journey. She was dressed in a long green dress with a laced bodice and she had a large green hooded cloak to match. She chose green because it served as a camouflage among trees.…

A slightly heavier draw length bow will make the arrow go through the air faster. Arrows are made of low density material. Carbon is less flexible and lighter than aluminium, which means that an arrow's diameter can be thinner making it more aerodynamic. Less mass= More speed The less the arrow weighs the faster the energy can make the arrow accelerate. A bow puts energy to a heavier arrow better than a light arrow. Every time you decrease 1” in draw length, you lose up to 10fps of arrow…

versions of the stringed bass varied greatly in shape, size, tuning, playing techniques, and number of strings. Most of these issues were not agreed upon until early in the 20th century and some still persist today. Exploring the history of the bass we’ll discover how a simple hunting bow transitioned into the realm of music and spawned a new style of instrument that would eventually produce the modern day bass. We’ll examine the significant moments in the history of the bass to discuss topics…

I knew that if I didn't go on the trip something would go wrong. After training for weeks on how to throw an atlatl, what angle to throw it, and where to hit the animal. I also learned where to hit certain animals, and how hard to throw it, I also learned how to shoot a bow and arrow. Yesterday, had been my last day to practice and I knew I was ready, I packed food, water, my bow, my atlatl, and my will to succeed. When I was little, I had always dreamed of going on one of these trips, going out…

As I am crawling through the cornfield stubble on a cold December evening, with my bow clenched tightly in my right fist, I become more aware of the hard dirt stabbing into my knees as I inch my way towards the grove. My hands are white from the numbing wind; the gusts pricking my face that sends a cold chill down my spine. As I lose the feeling of my face and my eyes begin to water, I only have one thing in mind, venison. I arrive to the grove, and make shelter behind a large oak. I scan the…

While there were many different weapons that were used during Medieval times, the crossbow may seem like a simple weapon at first, but was more than just simple weapon, up close. One reason that the crossbow seemed simple was because of the way which it looked. The crossbow had a long wooden stock, which was about two to three feet in length. The “bow” part of the crossbow was attached to the front part of the stock. Right in back of the “bow” was the bolt, or medieval arrow of the crossbow…
