Thread: New guy saying Hello/Intro

    Default New guy saying Hello/Intro (NSFW)

    hey all, im new to cigar smoking and found your little e-community to be one of the most helpful after reading through a couple so I figured i would join up.

    just a little background on me. i am a 26 year old architect currently living in ankeny, Iowa (suburb of Des Moines). I graduated from the University of Nebraska, go huskers I am actually searching for a job back in Lincoln, Nebraska because i enjoyed it more then where i am now.

    i have all kinds of hobbies. some of which include sportbikes, cars, bow hunting, home theater/movies, watching football (cant wait, its almost here), and a slew of other random things.

    anyways, i just wanted to say hi and i look forward to getting to know some of you guys. have a good weekend everyone.

    I shoot a matthews switchback. a nice little bow, but probably a little overpriced because of the brand. There are some big deer over in IL i hear. Do you hunt?

    Welcome to the board and enjoy the stay. Hope you've gotten your apprenticeship out of the way.

    Enough with this rhyming...So, how many years is it from the time someone graduates till they have the full "master" (right word?) status?

    Masters degree in Architecture takes 6 years of college, and then after you graduate you have to do 3 years as an "intern architect". then you can start taking the 9 different ARE (architects registration exams). when you pass all nine you then get your license to practice in that state. its a long damn process.

    i don't shoot yet but i want to. i'm leanning towards a traditional bow, hand crafted.

    I thnk it would be fun to target shoot a traditional but have never had the opportunity. I am kind of a technology guy and the R&D that goes into the new compounds is crazy. Since i dont get as much time to practice shoot as I would like, a compound is the only way i feel i can hunt ethically. the sights on the compound bows today are amazing. I have a ton of respect for any hunter that can use traditional equipment. i grew up in the compound age though. wood bow and wood arrows doesnt really get me going as much as fiber optic sights and aluminum bow limbs with silencers and carbon fiber arrows i still love archery in general though. its a lot of fun.
