At least for the rest of the sanding I used the little vibrator sander. I could probably sand out the worst gouge, since it’s near one end of the riser, but was afraid it might thin the glass too much. Probably should have run a layer of epoxy over it, just for looks.
As for ownership, I think one of my sons is going to claim it, but they both are city dwellers now so not sure where they would shoot it. I sure won’t be shooting RH for a long time, if ever.
My LH bow is also another Ebay bow, but I paid about $75 for it I think, and there was nothing wrong with it. I finally got everything tuned on it and have found the brace height it likes, so I am good to go.
Deer season ends here tomorrow, for me :(. I was out this AM about 30 min before legal shooting time, but didn’t see a thing all morning, until I was headed home and saw a doe and her yearling. It’s fork horn or better, bucks only here.
I have 2 neighbors that own 160 acres each, that I am allowed to hunt, and cannot stir up a buck in all that land. They have gone nocturnal, and there is some THICK stuff for them to bed in. I would be doing good to crawl through it. Even that would be hard.
Oh well, more time for projects.:D
In archery, my latest is the steel broadheads. I think they are a doable idea. I have a thread on that, and will update it when I make prototype number 2. I’m not trying to re-invent the wheel, just make the wheel more affordable:).
Materials, wise, they are less than $1 each. I do have a pig tag, and that season is open year round, and no limit, so when the bow is all ready, I will take it to look for piggies. There are thousands of pigs taken in this state each year, but about 90% are on private land and they all want $$$. So I will look for them on public land.
God, California is the most pathetically run state. You can’t shoot does, you need a tag to shoot a nasty, feral, invasive pig and now you can’t kill a lion, nor can you kill a bear with any reasonably method. I couldnt live there for ten minutes.
Again, great work and good luck for the rest of whatever season the nazis allow you to partake in
