I helped close a sell a monitor cleaner by extolling the virtues of it’s durability, and STEVE gets the shout out?! See if I ever do that again! OK, OK…”sell” maybe a stretch, since you were giving them away free, nevertheless…it was nice to meet ya Steve!:lol::lol:
The skeeters weren’t bad at all yesterday. The “blue” course was pretty muddy and wet, but the animals didn’t move at all, so they were much easier to shoot. I still missed my fair shair though. My son shot amazingly well. I bought a string for my daughters recurve and she shot for the first time and really enjoyed it. What an amazing improvement from her first to her last shot! April shot 4 times, and lost 3 arrows! 😆
April and I chatted with this guy, in his tipi, about his tipi for quite a while. I was amazed at how comfortable it was inside it. With the sun beating on it, I figured it would’ve been unbearably hot. He sold April and now she wants to get a tipi…which is cool by me. Other than the set-up time! 😯
I really wanted to stay for the campfire, but there’s no way I could’ve made the 3.5 hour trip back home in one piece if we stayed that long. That was a long 3.5 hours!
Steve Turay told Tyler he’s now on his pro staff and gave him a Northern Mist Longbow shirt which was very cool, but we had a very difficult time getting his head to fit inside the truck on the way home.
One last observation: it’s tough to buy stuff when the wife is with ya. Merely an observation. 😉
Next weekend, Tyler and I are camping in Grayling for the 2010 Michigan Traditional Bowhunters Jamboree.:wink:

If it was them or me, that would be one thing. But knowing the effective range of the bows we shoot, knowing you’re that close to the person…that would just be wrong on so many levels. Not to mention the fact that any court would immediately determine that you had every intention of killing simply BECAUSE you got that close before releasing the arrow. Nope, can’t see how a person could just go out and kill somebody. Even the guys that were sniping people back east a few years back. How could they sit back, pick a target and pull the trigger so easily? I don’t understand it, and I guess I never will.
Michael.
If you did understand, I’d be concerned!! :shock::lol:

Makes sense.
in reply to: Finally some idot used one to snipe off a person #23432I guess I’m slow. What’s the point?
in reply to: wood arrows? #21132Baby steps! 😉
I came from shooting a compound and carbon arrows. I switched to a longbow and carbon arrows. My intention is to switch to wood arrows as soon as my carbon arrow stash becomes depleted enough to warrant spending the cash on new arrows. With that said, I’m concerned about how I’m going to fret over warpage, bending, etc., once I’ve made the switch (It’s a personality disorder 😆 ).
I don’t like that I’ll have to glue and “unglue” heads when switching between broadheads and fieldtips.
And last and probably most important, I don’t hang with a single perosn who shoots wood arrows.
But as I stated, I am switching. 😉
in reply to: Doing a Snoopy Dance: 1969 Super Kodiak #16912Congrats George. What in the heck is a snoopy dance?
in reply to: IPad and Traditional Bowhunter #13112GREAT! Now those of us (me!) without the will-power will try to use it on our iPhones. :oops:8):D:evil:
While you’re at it Robin, don’t forget get working on the iPhone/iPad application for tradbow.com: iTradBow 😉

Ditto!
Although, the digital out of print back issues are very cool and handy (and a great deal!), and I definitely use them, I prefer the paper edition.
in reply to: String Placement On Fingers #12857I know for certain the pain isn’t due to a poor release. I’m only asking because I have other issues with my hands. Steve, where does the string lie on your fingers, in the joint or pad?
in reply to: Bowyers: Brace Height Question #12399I suspect you’re right, but I think it would be best to have at least the starting point indicated on the bows. Oh well.
How appropriate that this thread is currently sandwiched between two threads where the individuals are attempting to figure out the recommended brace height for their bows.
I’m using an Eagle’s Flight quiver…and I like. If you are going with a Grizzly, El Grande, Ashby, Abowyer Brown Bear, etc., you’re out of luck with Great Northern’s. They’re not deep enough to fully/safely cover the entire length of the broadhead. I’m going to be buying an Eagle’s Flight Cherokee Chief with Totem for that very reason (I currently have an Eagle’s Flight Apache, which isn’t deep enough either).

😆 Not a thing, I’m naturally unusual.
Hiram wrote: Most reputable Bowyers do!:)
You serious? I’ve not seen a bow with the recommended brace height noted on it.
