I would be interested, as I am starting to build my own leather goods. Seeing how a past master of the art goes about it, is always beneficial. Your projects seem very practical to me and nicely executed. So — you have at least one student wanting to be enlightened.

Hi Jim

Good to see you here, and back in the traditional Archery pursuit.

Sounds like your career is going strong and eventful. The big guns are fun to run and an art form in their own way —–good luck in your endeavors there.

Looking forward to hearing of your adventures

Sounds like you are off to a good start on the approaching season back east.

The scrub oaks at my house aren’t showing many acorns this year. But, it was a weird spring out here in the Southwest. I have some quail wandering about, but the hatch was small for my area.

Looking forward to the fall — starting to amp up my practice. I need to refurbish my backyard range/ “field course”

Been a long time since I tried shooting with just bare fingers. As I recall it was hard on the digits! Although I can see where it could be quiet, and possibly more accurate, if you were tuff enuff. Interesting experiment. I am not sure I could take the finger pinch of my short bows for long —

Anybody else out there shoot bare fingered.

I also remember trying in my youth ( a while back – haha) those rubber finger tabs that you could put on the serving. Don’t recall much about them. Except I went back to a glove.

Bows on the little Delta is excellent. I think there are still a few copies left available from the family. – Northwest Archery

Good morning Mr Mills

Most custom arrow builders will let you pick the colors ( if available) for all the portions of the arrow you mention. Wether they would build one first and show you a picture – would be something you would need to ask that builder. I saw a custom arrow site called allwoodarrows.com , that showed a heck of a lot of combinations that might be what your looking for. Haven’t used them, so can’t vouch for their work – pics look really nice

Thanks – interesting story. About the time you think all the “real” wilderness is gone, you see a story like this. Too bad they can’t make contact with him, But, probably best for him. I didn’t realise there were that many indeginious unnamed tribes ( probably some more not spotted so far)in the amazon. On reflection however that would be the place that still had truly primitive people left. Wish the ” man in the hole ” great good luck.

Having spent a little time in the jungle – got be careful there. All kinds of stuff has teeth – in one way or another.

Wahoo

Sounds like you got the 35/55 shooting all right. I believe the gold tips shown are 55/75 s ( visiting friends in southern NM- don’t have that bow with me) for that bow and 300gr up front ( tuffhead). Most of my carbon arrows for hunting are 675/ 700gr. The juniper bow is a heavier bow (marked 55 but seems a little more) than the other 2.

I like being over 650 ( Ashby study ) and good efoc.

When I get home will give you exact particulars.

Depends on the bow of course –

Which one where you interested in ? Copperhead is axis 400s. The 54″ bow also

Hope to see pics of your new Centaurs when you get them.

I am hoping Ed shows up here, with a report on the status of the new foundation ( study). I’m interested in the status also.
