Thats a good point Mark. My partner from yesterday and I were talking about just that. I've used a radio antenna and a baseball hat this year already mixed in with 3 weeks of the quarter in the pocket routine! We were talking about making a backup arrow to throw in our bags. Lets see...a 12" piece of 2x4 painted black with a white arrow. Not too tough and not much extra to throw in the bag.

Heh Heh....Flip the Bird! I'm gonna get a stuffed Monkey and face it the direction of the AP....that way, if the scorer incorrectly flips it, I can yell at him for touching my monkey!

(Aw cmon....at least I didnt go for the cheap "spanking the monkey" joke!)

Larks - Please dont touch the Rook's Monkey...it makes him mad!
