Glad you got an answer to your query… sorry we couldn’t be more help.

If you like the bow and you shoot it well, is all that really matters.

Enjoy the traditional journey…

Hi Jar22

Welcome to the forum.

I am afraid there are way too many Bowyers and Manufacturers anymore for me too even hazard a guess.

It’s a nice looking bow. How does it shoot? Maybe one of the other members will recognize it and chime in.

If you think it is local to your area , you could ask the members of any archery club near you.  Someone might recognize it…

I am that guy … at least the PA one. I think I am still in one of their medical texts..

When I first started shooting tradbow ( high school) I was self taught, and learning as I went. I was not checking my ( wooden) shafts properly ( often) enuff after missing a tgt or doing roving drills. One day not seeing the a crack In the shaft the arrow came apart on release blowing a inch long piece into my bow hand thumb. Yes it hurt like the Dickens! I didn’t scream, but expletives where declared !

My father who was with me, wrapped it up and had me police up my gear and tidy the range before heading to the ER. Luckily after a long time to heal and rehab it still works pretty normal. I switched to aluminum arrows for a long time. Eventually going back to wood , ( I also shoot Carbon) I diligently check my arrows anytime I miss the back stop now! Haha.

I personally don’t repair breaks . I would imagine if done properly repaired arrows would be OK. I like my arrows as perfect as I can make them for accuracy imho….just my preference.

in reply to: Glove grease ………… #168412

Richard /kees

Finally ….haha

I have not tried the glove grease / bees wax method , but will experiment. I get my gloves from American leathers ( buffalo /bison) and they have built a medium strap and large fingers glove for me .. The large size is tight on my fingers and the medium back/ strap, keep the finger portion from slipping forward on release.

I have modified gloves in the past ( I can work / sew leather) to fit better ….

Your greased glove email showed up in a alert mail to me ( let’s me know there’s activity on the forum ) but I couldn’t find it here ?

Maybe try sending it again?

Hi Robin

No sweat we’ll work thru it . I just scroll down …quickly. if it gets too long , we can start a new forum😁

 

Kees

Good to hear from you . Yes on fletch in the hand , dont care for that myself….

Sometimes I put a “cushier” rest on a bow ( higher,  away from my hand…) but if it’s shooting like you want it sounds like a perfect solution . Enjoy your new bow..

Thanks to all the Veterans out there past, present , future— their sacrifices allow us all to have a nice Holiday weekend…
