Troy,

That’s a beauty! I was wondering the other day if Black Locust would make a bow. I have a ton of it here that was blown down in storms last year. It makes a great firewood I can attest to that. dwc

I’d like to run, but my running style or lack of is a punishment. So I spend time walking in the woods, stumping. I also try to keep a routine of pushups and work with the bowfit. That’s a great exercise tool and it packs for travel as needed, too. I also split all my firewood with a six pound maul. All that helps me try to keep up with the kids. dwc

Sinawalli,

Saying you haven’t lived would be a stretch, but it’s a great time and a great way to practice woods shots. Depending on how you want to challenge yourself, you can always find thickets and branches to shoot through to really get to know how much your arrow arcs on the way to the target. It’s great practice, but it’s mainly great fun. have fun, dwc

Depending on work, I might take a run out on that Friday. It’s a bit of a drive for me, too, but I don’t think four hours. It’s a big show from what I understand. I might give it a try. If I go I’ll make a post saying so and we might be able to do a shoot together. all the best, david

Yep, just checked. About 3.5 hours. Maybe. I’d probably do a day trip and burn the candle. dwc

I keep that book handy. It’s been very helpful. I look forward to getting the DVD sometime, too. dwc

ColMike,

If you are in PA, here’s good organization and a list of their shoots. There’s also the Whittingham shoot 20 miles into New Jersey. Their trad shoot was a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t make it, but have gone a couple of times and it’s a really nice event. Here’s the PA Longbow Assoc. link. http://www.palongbow.com/schedule.php

best, david

Hi Alex,

I’ve heard of the place. I’m just north of you in the Poconos. There’s a high fence deer hunt just over the hill, but I have not heard of hogs in there yet. Don’t want them. dwc

Hey Alex,

That’s a beauty. I love it that it isn’t pretty in the typical sense. More character, more beauty. One to remember. Congratulations, dwc

in reply to: Whittingham Shoot #25239

Alex, did you make it to Whittingham? I ended up staying home as my daughter was home from school not feeling well. The other shoot I would have gone to was last weekend at Leon Stewart’s club the West Caln Sportsman’s Club. That’s a nice shoot, too, near Coatesville, Pa. If you went, you had a good day for it, although it was a bit windy here early in the day. dwc

No stumps in this photo and it was from last fall, but it’s typical Eastern PA woods. best, dwc

Would love to see it, too. If you are sizing in photoshop try lowering the compression rate to about 7 when you do the save as. That seems to work well for me. dwc
