    The Sons and Daughters of Kate Bishop (archery)

    Not planning on hunting. Just hunting the paper plates. I would really like to get to the point where I can do the local/state competitions. And, yeah, definitely sticking with the recurve. I definitely see the value of the compound for hunting, and when I shoot on a range next to the...

    Thanks! I shoot outdoor other than the one lesson I took in Manchester. I am hoping to incorporate more indoor going forward, but I built a whole set-up at my in-laws farm and last year I got over there usually 2-3 days per week. It is awesome and I really appreciate the isolation of it. I...

    Yes, the 600s are the first arrows I purchased. I shoot at 40, 50, and 60. I can shoot fairly reliably at 50. At 60, I am not really there yet. And at 70, my sight is bottomed out.

    I have been shooting 600s -- these big old 5mm Easton's that are appropriate for indoor but I shoot mostly outdoor. So new arrows are on the list as well as upgrading the bow and starting to add stabilizers. All the freaking numbers on these arrows confuse the hell out of me.

    So... new archery season. I'm now shooting a 25 lb recurve, but need to up the weight. With my current limbs and sight I cannot shoot at 60 meters which is the distance for the "Masters" (over 50) event I am targeting. So I need to improve both myself and my equipment. With the Nutmeg Games so...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    I'm pretty certain that is Brayan Bello's deal, not Rafaela's.

    Anchor Investment or Distressed Asset? Where the Red Sox Fit in the FSG Portfolio

    I realize this is going to be a wildly unpopular post. But I do think we have to look at the weak correlation between spending and winning -- at least in 2023. Here is the Spotrac breakdown. Overall, it shows a weak positive correlation between spending and winning. And I stipulate up-front...

    The Red Sox Payroll Poll

    I appreciate the poll, and it is interesting to see the consistency in responses, at least as of this writing. I suspect we are in a realignment of the realities of free agency where free agent money is just not going to be able to buy you the caliber of player that it could previously. I will...

    What is next for BB?

    The odds are against it, in particular because of the record to be broken, but it would be an amazing ending if he wrapped things up at the Naval Academy.

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    It’s always the money, except when they say it’s not about the money…then it’s really the money.

    Rhamondre Stevenson: High Ankle Sprain. Best Possible Outcome?

    Having just watched my 17 year old son take 9+ weeks to recover from a high ankle sprain I have no idea how anyone could play football this year. Now I recognize that high ankle sprains are all different, but my kid is just now able to do his sport mostly without pain almost 4 months later. He...

    Rafael Devers: post extension performance

    I mean…a .741 OPS over 77 PA is not really notable.

    As with most great archers, I decided to take up the sport at the age of 48. I live in Connecticut, and my kids compete in the Nutmeg games (like a state Olympics only with a stupid name) in fencing. Well I decided I needed something for me so I went through the Nutmeg Game sports and landed on...
