A true predator and beautiful as all get out. I love that they hunt for their food and usually don’t depend on carrion.

BY FAR the coolest sound too! Although, those who only hear it via movies and TV shows probably think that sound comes from a bald eagle 🙄

Speaking of hawks, I love to watch Rough Legged Hawks “hovering” over a grassy field, scanning it for voles, mice, etc. Very pretty birds, in their many morphs.

I thought only humans were allowed to become members of this forum! That’s what I get for making assumptions.

I really liked my Leatherman Skeletool. I would really like it (present tense) if I could find it! 👿

Golden Eagles. I find it fascinating that they’ll hunt in tandem at times. They can take animals, MANY times their weight, and are the epitomy of majesty to me. Plus they taste delicious. 😆

Orcas are amazingly intelligent. It’s amazing how they vary they’re hunting styles to best suit the the environment and prey they are after. Plus they are just plain cool looking.

Mountain Lions are such incredible ambushers/stalkers.

Grizzly Bears for their “brute” strength, among many admirable qualities.

Wolves for the same reason Dave expressed.

Heck, there’s such a long wait, it doesn’t even count as a 2010 bow. I don’t expect it until around this time, next year. Which is fine since I couldn’t afford it any sooner anyway. My t/d Baraga should arrive today or tomorrow. 😀

Oh, and don’t be such a wuss! (j/k!)

in reply to: Poundage/Stacking Relationship #30973

😆 Thats for sure.

To tell you the truth, I figured there’d be no answer. I don’t like asking questions that are so specific, that they’ll most likely only apply to me, so I tried to generalize as much as I figured could…but failed.

More specifically: I’m on the waiting list for a 56″ Shrew Classic Hunter with a 30″ draw. I initially intended to go with a 60#er, but I’m considering going with a 65#er instead. I’m concerned that stacking may result with that draw length/poundage combination. Thoughts?

8) Awesome! Thanks much guys. That answered even unasked questioned, because I was also wondering if Shrew limbs are trapezoidal.

[Patrick]

in reply to: Trapezoidal Limbs #29127

😆 Yep, impressive graphics. Must’ve been done with very expensive geometry software. Although it does appear the top of your trapezoid has been moved by someone. 😆

Really though, I know what a trapezoid is. I just didn’t know how it related to bow limbs. Thanks for the explanation.

You most certainly do! I’m reading it right now, and it is fantastic. I LOVE his style of writing. I’ve been giving away the books I’ve read that I didn’t care for. His will not be one of them. Besides, he signed it for me 8)

PS Buy it from his site so he makes the money, rather than Amazon.com, etc.

in reply to: feather orientation #27546

It’s an age old question/debate: Were they born with that orientation or did they choose it.

Oops, I misread your post. I’ve not seen anyone orient the fletching that way when shooting off the shelf.

in reply to: Best Bang for the Buck? #27381

THAT is exactly what I’m looking for, for my son! My 45# Baraga is just too much for him right now. I’m afraid it’ll cause bad habits and I didn’t want to spend over $300 on a a bow he’ll outgrow in a year. Thanks for the heads up Dave!
