SimonUK:
Come on lads, this is getting ridiculous. Everyone knows it's an impersonal pronoun.

Glennan:
Yep, another good definition.

There are some out there whose purpose is purely to draw the heaviest bow they can.  It's not about the archery to them, it's about the machismo (or something)

I don't think that applies to you.  Never did.  Sorry if you misunderstood me, or you find my colourful (though quite correct) use of English offensive.

Not sure that gives you the right to patronise me, though.

Rod:
I'm reminded of the story about a target archery coach who took it upon himself to show Dick Galloway how to draw up a bow. The man was handed a strong bow and all he could do was strain, grunt and pass it back.
Technique alone will not do it, nor will strength alone, at least not efficiently.
It's commonplace for me doing public access archery to see a big guy struggling with a weight that a slight woman will shoot comfortably, and the difference is in ego and technique.
The big guy will pick it up and try to draw with his hands, the woman will have listened to instruction and draw with comfort, using her back.
I was just looking at Thimosaby's picture over on PA and he has his wrist cocked and his elbow way high, a sure indicator that he has placed too much emphasis on drawing with the hands.
Rod.
