Rip Shot Archery Release Aid Debuted At 2009 ATA
Posted by MikeAdams on January 20, 2009
Most people want to know about the hot new bows and crossbows that were released at the 2009 ATA show. We covered those in the previous articles here on Hooks and Bullets, so it is time to cover the new items that promise to take your shooting ability to the next level.
While at the show I met Nat Graves of Rip Shot, which I think might be the next must have item in the archery equipment line. This device straps onto your draw arm and uses your exisiting trigger release head to get the job done. It basically takes all the pressure off of your hand, wrist, and forearm when drawing your bow back. Mr. Graves claims the Rip Shot will improve your shooting accuracy as well as making it easier to draw your bow. It will also help a bowhunter that has a problem drawing a bow back. Take a look at the video demonstration and interview below, if you want to view it in high quality follow the links back to youtube and click on “view in high quality” on the link below the video player.

Definitely an interesting device. I wonder if this device would keep a few of the guys – who were thinking about switching to crossbows – in the archery arena. Hmm. Something to think about.

A person’s wedding is one of the most memorable, important, and high points in an individual’s life. At a time when a man and a woman want to make the ultimate commitment to spend the rest of their lives together, the desire to have personalized vows is certainly understandable. This is one of the most unique and special days in a person’s life, so if you want to speak your own personal wedding vows, than by all means, you should go for it!
Writing your own vows can be intimidating. Wedding days always add pressure to even the most mundane of tasks, and certainly writing the vows you want to say to your significant other in front of all your friends and family is no small matter! Still, don’t let fear cause you to go along with some basic commonly used wedding vows if you really want that personalized touch. Just follow a few basic tips, and this will help you be on your way to writing the tips your future spouse deserves!
1. Write from the heart. Your wedding day represents the epitome of love between you and your future spouse. The two of you are together for a reason. Anything you write should be honest and from your heart, because that is what will really make your words special.
2. You don’t have to be Robert Frost or Emily Dickinson. If you are a poet, great. Keep in mind, though, that in the end words are just words. Your wedding vows do not have to be an amazing classic piece of literature—they need to be an honest display of your feelings for the other person. Don’t use long poetical words if all it does is put distance between your words and your feelings.
3. It’s okay to brainstorm. Before you set down to write everything, make a list of the things about your spouse that you absolutely love about your spouse, then make a list of the commitments you want to make. Figure out what parts of those lists you really want to include (keep in mind the vows are read in front of families and friends) and keep those.
4. Short and Sweet. It doesn’t take many words or a lot of time to make your heart known to everyone present. A lot can be said in a really short time, so don’t feel like you have to make the vows any longer than they naturally come out.
Follow these four tips, and you’ll find yourself getting over your worries to write some great wedding vows that your spouse will love!
