The jury is still out on what I’m going to order.

We also have several other fine bowers in my area.

in reply to: Why is Bowhunting Illegal in Germany? #40474

Patrick I have a buddy that lives in the UK where it is also illegal to bowhunt. Here was his response to my questions about it being illegal there.

It was banned over fears about poaching, in a small, densley populated country like the UK, hunting with a gun is much more conspicuious that hunting with a bow.

It won’t be legalised becuase of the animal rights crowd, and people unwilling tp accept meat was once an animal.

It’s not actually banned, bows are just not on the approved hunting tools list.

Now I don’t know if this is the case in Germany, but I would suspect it to be.

Now I’m impressed, and was looking north of me and now find a real work of art by Bama Bows south of me.

I will be checking this out further.

BTW – Those are very beautiful bows there, got me drooooling all over the place here.

in reply to: carbon vs aluminum #38765

I shot carbs in my other bow which is off topic here, but I will say I have broken more CX carbs than aluminum with that bow. As far as traditionals go, I’m getting ready to puchase my first set or sets for two differant 45# traditional bows. One is a self longbow that I just finished, and the other is a Bear Kodiak that just has been shooting the Easton 2016’s with feathers just great.

In the stack of arrows that are available at the shop, he has woods 50-55’s and Beaman 340 carbs. I can order the Eastman carbs as well. So alot of thought has been going into my purchase thinking. My traditional self longbow is just screaming for woods.

I do have 1 dozen Arrow Dynamic’s Nitro Stingers that are still uncut @ 32″ that have the same taper design as Grizzly Sticks and have thought about making these up with feathers and starting at 32″ and then going down from there to see where the perfect flight is.

I like heavy arrows, what can I say.

in reply to: Please introduce yourselves, I'll start #38594

Well I guess this is a great place to start. My name is Jon B “Cottonwood” Erdmann, and I picked Cottonwood off the top of my head because I live right in the middle of them here in Kalsipell.

I have two traditional bows, one a longbow I just refinished, and a Bear Kodiak recurve both 45 pound bows.

Will be ordering a new bow finally from Marriah Custom Bows in Whitefish, Mt.

You all have a great one.
