That sounds more like trick shooting than hunting practice, imho. I quess it might be useful, if you were shooting at a pheasant in flight and it’s cackle on the rise spooked up a whitetail buck in range 😉

I think you should send us a video when you have that shot mastered😁

Haha

Yes silence my old friend. Glad you found him again….

Keeping em quiet is an absolutely necessity.. as much as one can.

Glad you managed to sort it out, bow quivers especially the large ones can be a problem..

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 ….

Maybe try sending it again?
