I was once cutting a hole in a roof while working with a new guy. I had a sawzall and I cut one leg, then I turned and cut another, both by eye. Then the fellow said to me, ''Don't you want to use a square ?''. Well, I responded that it looked pretty square to me, but that he could check it if he wanted.
Well, it was perfectly straight on both sides, and perfectly square to boot. It was also 16''x24'', like a framing square. He looked at me with wide eyes, and said accusingly, ''YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE !''. Well no, I am ''just lucky'' on a very consistent basis. I honestly think that there is often an angel on my shoulder.
And I am inclined to listen. That doesn't mean I don't use gauges and fixtures from time to time, but I also use ''the force''. And I trust it.
If I had a bow that was accurate, and shot well, I would think that maybe, JUST MAYBE, it was set up EXACTLY the way it was intended to be. Maybe not intentionally, but maybe circumstantially, and Perfectly.
With Grace. The question is sometimes, can we accept that ?
