Archery as a martial art, and Japanese bows

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 6 Feb 17

In my neck of the woods (uh, literally) it's more common to think of archery in terms of bow hunting, but also as a minor in sport archery as well. And my experience when I was younger was primarily in bow hunting and practice...

Electricity a Greek word?

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 2 Feb 17

Well, sort of, in a round about way. It comes from Latin, but was based on the Greek term for amber (which again, may come from another language as well as I will point out later). And why am I mentioning this? Because the term...

Progression of bowmaking, and making bowstrings

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 2 Feb 17

So now I've been back at the archery as a hobby for a little over a year now. Selling archery products, as I may have mentioned, was part of the family business (the other part was, as I said, giving dogsled rides, making...

October 5, and I went swimming!!

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 5 Oct 16

I can't remember doing that ever-and as I sit, I am wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I was coming home, and was hot, and as I was going by the lake I had wondered what the water would be like? The last few times I had tried to go...

Decline of use of the Tetragrammaton within Old Testament literature

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 10 Sep 16

This sprung from a conversation the other day and a question someone asked me-when did Christians stop using the Tetragrammaton, or Old Testament term for God, Yahweh? I said the reality is that they probably never used it, and...

Linguistic question someone gave me today, the meaning of "Christ is the end of the law"

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 8 Sep 16

This is a question I got today from a Messianic believer, they were asking me re. the meaning of Romans 10:4 "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for everyone that believth"-KJV. They wanted to know if "end" (Greek...

If you don't want to know, why ask the question?

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 8 Sep 16

People see the clerical collar on me, and they ask me questions. Sometimes they really want to know something, and sometimes they want to argue or prove me wrong about something they think I believe. What is interesting to me is...

Our grapes this year and our apples

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 8 Sep 16

They aren't quite ready, but they are turning out pretty nicely. I'm still learning about things, but this year they are slightly larger and less sour. This picture was taken a few weeks ago, so they have gotten a little...

So in Ontario, we're paying a tax...on a tax?

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 7 Sep 16

I realize I am writing this about a month or month and a half late...but I kinda wanted to let the issue settle in my mind for a while to see if it ever started to make sense...aside from it being a tax gouge... If you're not...

Dream logic is at times very strange

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 6 Sep 16

This is an example of a lucid dream that I had last night-I am stressing, this was a lucid dream where I had awareness that I was dreaming, and could manipulate the dream. I dreamt that I was in a Gilligans Island scene, and I...

Had a dream there was a hole in my boat, and then there was a hole in my boat

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 5 Sep 16

I don't think I would describe this as a premonition, or esp, or anything like that, just something kinda funny that happened. Well, funny now. At the time, it was kinda horrible. Anyway, yesterday morning I was out in the...

This is why self defense is important

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 3 Sep 16

I began to study Karate when I was about 5-I only took steady lessons for a year (as I said, I was 5), but after about age 9 I began taking lessons at the same place for about 6 weeks every year after that...and after that, I kept...

3 foot waves? No problem!

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 3 Sep 16

So I've progressed a little with the boat-I'm very comfortable in choppy water now. In fact, it's a little more fun, to be honest. Today I made the mistake of going out a little later then I normally do, and it being the long...

Deer antlers I found in the forest

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 2 Sep 16

It happens every so often, that I'll find a set of deer antlers in the forest. It's the kind of thing that a lot of people would miss, because when they are laying on the forest floor, they tend to just look like branches-when...

Samaritan vocalization of Vav

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 17 Aug 16

This stems from a conversation earlier today, the historical vocalization of the Hebrew letter Vav (or Waw) came up. As usual an oversimplified statement was made "in Biblical Hebrew the Vav is a w"-actually, there is some...

The Greek Septuagint version of Judges, some thoughts on the construct state of Bayit

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 17 Aug 16

Right now I'm reading the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, commonly called the Septuagint-as I've said from time to time, the Septuagint as a literary work is important for a few reasons...one because in reality, it...

Archery and trick shooting

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 11 Aug 16

I was watching a few youtube videos the other day of people trick shooting-to be honest, I wasn't really impressed because in reality they were merely novelty targets. A bullseye is a bullseye, no matter what it looks...

Foot and a half high waves? Eh, not so bad

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 9 Aug 16

Once again I was out in the boat, the water was a bit choppy, but it wasn't that bad...a foot and a half high waves isn't that bad, right? I am about 80 feet from shore, and I start to figure out oh if the boat is pointed this...

Not sure if I've mentioned this yet...but there was a baby chipmunk running around here, I came across him when he was more or less new born and...he took a shine to me. He follows me around when I'm outside. Sometimes last week...

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 6 Aug 16

A few weeks ago a I bought the DVD of the movie and first season of the original series-and for the moment, it's my new fave. series to have on when I've got a migraine or am recovering from one. When I was a kid I don't think...
