    I collect 78 rpm records (really), and that's my first name in front of it.

    Well my screen name is Archer, so that should not be too hard to figure out...I was a competitive archer for many years...

    On the practice range, where I spent more hours of my life than you can possibly imagine:

    [​IMG]

    Canadian Champs gold medal match (yes I won):

    [​IMG]

    With a team mate in an event in Venezuela - I'm the taller one:

    [​IMG]

    3 of us shooting in the team event (we won bronze):

    [​IMG]

    On the podium at an event in Cuba (we won silver):

    A sport I love very much - can't shoot any longer but I have many memories and experiences that I still cherish.

    Cheers, Al

    I usually say "Cleaning, Pressing and Alterations." :p

    Although I woulnd't mind being a valet (that's what we call them here) at the place where I take my car to be washed. A lot of Porsches, Lambos and Ferraris with the occasionsal Lexus or Mercedes-Benz. And me in my poor Volvo.

    A lot less stressful this time of year.

    I've ridden motorcycles of all types continuously for 30+ years, had up to 5 licensed at a time and owned 13 at once for a while. The guy I do most of my riding with is named Hans so I became Fritz after "Hans & Fritz" of the Katzenjammer Kids cartoon strip of the 30s They were little trouble makers and we're always causing shit..... last ticket: 104 in a 60.

    This is a fun thread to read...esp the CPA definitions! Mine is simple: nationality, passion, career...It works well on international forums, but I have something a little different for our Canadian forums.

    I became known as Hijak during group rides/drives on the motorcycles and in the cars. Many times I would take the lead and "Hijak" the ride/drive to check out something that was close by and cool but off our route. It all started with the phrase "Hijaks at it again!" and the rest is history. Sometimes it worked out very well and other times not so well. People in nice classic cars and or bikes don't like to end up on dirt roads, just don't ask me how I know this!:D
