[Archers] Archers Digest, Vol 98, Issue 22

[John Atkins]

Colum,
I'm not sure your comments/witticism have been distorted as much as it
just being an artifact of the respect we all have for you.  Like, if
late into Scotch night, you happen to fall down, accidentally or course,
we all just think you were looking for a contact lens or showing us all
how to shoot while laying down.
 
Due to the respect and high value we hold you in I have even seen other
archers at Pennsic attempting Colum emulations by eating that pink girly
ice cream you favor.  hahahahahaha
 
But to add to your excellent collection of archery advice, my all time
favorite.  "But Marshal, I was aiming for the gold.  Can't we just score
that shaft as a 5 anyway?  I really meant to hit the gold."  Kinda like
heavies calling good blows light or ignoring a good hit from a combat
archer.

It has come to my attention that while wafting throught the mists of
time some of the Baron Columisms may have been distorted.  So allow me
to correct the record.

What I actually said; "I wish I was smart enough to practice."
 
Quote: "Your arrows are easier find if they are in the target."
What I actually said; "I wish I could hit the target."
 
Quote: " Don't look at bad habits in good archers and think they are
alright, rather ask how much better could they be if they did it right."
What I actually said; " Dang you would think I could have at least one
good habit."
 
Quote: " The good archers practice the things they don't like rather
than the things they do well."
What I actually said; "Man I love shooting at the ten yard line."
