I also get cut on my bow hand if I get too close to the shelf with right wing. Why, I mostly shoot left wing – although I have and still shoot rt wg – just reminds me to position my bow hand correctly. I have seen no difference in how they shoot [for me anyway]

I think Arnie’s BH was a 40mm HEDP round, and probably used Paracord for the string —-

Great post guys –thanks–

Brings Back fond memories. I visited and hunted there a number of times and enjoyed it immensely! Thought about living there when I was younger — but life got in the way.

Need to go back to fish and hunt again.

Caught Lake Trout / caribou / grouse all in the same day —

Doesn’t bore me any { hunted there late 80s}

— love to hear stories of the last Frontier. Did you all go there as a group? 60s “back to the Land” or just for the fun of it?

It was my understanding[from local explanation] wherever there was a lot of “Grizz” “Brownies” there were not many Black Bear and Vice versa. This seemed to hold true in my limited experience. [ Grizz ran the black Bear off —]

I had thought about living there also, but unfortunately didn’t go for it. Should have done it –Just for the experience!

Dave & Sagebrush —

Good video for folks not familiar with the technique { looks like he is using a “leatherman type tool” which at least with the one’s I have had, can be made quite sharp}. I also do, as you both do, in lightening the load further for pack out { deboning specifically}. I first heard of this as “Alaskan Quartering” { while hunting there}, I would presume to keep the great bears from finding you while in the process,as it is quick and skips the mess & smell of gutting. A good technique anywhere, but especially in “Grizz” country.

If you have Med friends who could give you some [ med stretch tape] you can probably dye or color it. I have only seen the med stuff in blue. You can strap a bow quiver to it no problem.

I really like the protection / and noise dampening [ hit the bow against blind/stand]

as you say most “bow tape” is still “shiny”. I have used bow sleeves which are better [ less reflective ].

I really like this Camo form Protective Camoflage wrap – it protects the bow and is trully nonreflective. It is a wrap, not Tape as it is stretchy and adhers to itself [ sort of like velcro without the noise]. It looks to me like it was developed from the current e room bandages. It is semi -reusable [ I imagine it will eventually lose it’s elasticity]I have not tried to wash it.

Google up — McNett Camo Form Protective Camoflage Wrap.

I have seen it at Gibsons [hardware] Sportsmans Warehouse – Amazon etc.

I mentioned this on the other thread — this stuff works great and is not “tape” [ IE sticky ]it is a camo version of the self adhering bandages used by hospitals. It is called Camo Form — comes in about 25 variations of camo. I’ve used it on my expensive bows w/ no problems

Absolutely Gorgeous bow — great poundage — I wish I had seen it, I would have bought it myself – haha

I really like Juniper limbs [ have it in a Centaur] Who would have thought such an ubiquitus tree [ in our neck of the woods NM for me ] could be such a beautiful bow wood! I like the thought of hunting in my area with wood from a tree that grows there ——–

I always camo [ sleeves/ tape in old days] my bows {even if “satin” finished still shine in the SW sun}imho. What I use currently and really like [ not cheap ] is self adherent bandage tape made by Camo Form Protective camo wrap. It adhers to itself without the stickiness of regular tape. comes in all kinds of camo ———-
