Lunar powered slower. Full moon best. Carry silver tipped arrows just in case.

Looks like one needs to practice ricochet shots like Mr. Ferguson does. 😀 Or lots of stealth practice. Become the stump!:wink:

Yep, composite like self, not if but when. But, maybe it’ll outlast me then you can wear it out the rest of the way. You gotta pay postage though. Couple Texans want it but you know Texan’s will trade bout anything they got if you provide nuff beer! Maybe that’s why I get shafted, I don’t drink anymore 😆

Me too! Put a cornbread casserole together, using deer burger, then been out back shootin’ “The Boss”, my Boo/Osage that David Knight built for me 3-4 years ago. It’s a beaut! 49# @ 28″ and shoots as fast or faster as many glass bows do that I’ve been around for it’s weight.

Agree on the hot afternoon, 95º and 35-45% humidity which is hard on we dry lander’s. Calm winds too which is total unlike Amarillo.

Looks like I need to fork out for new innards for my deer!

David, this guys idea of the ‘Great Outdoors’ is mostly his fescue grass and BBQ grill in the backyard. Whatever possessed him to go bear hunting I’ll never know, especially with a bow. He’s a much, much better with his grill than his bow. Matter of fact I haven’t seen him shooting in years. Maybe bad thoughts about bears and bows? :lol::lol:

I spent a lot of years, through the 6th grade for the most part, my dad stationed at March AFB, not all that far from Yosemite. We camped many weekends there and many times for two week trips. Bears were very prolific and we had very little trouble. Only, actually, if someone in the camping area was careless with their food or let little fluffy get to thinking it was a bad ass. Those bears would put a dog in it’s place in a heartbeat then they had to huff and puff for awhile to prove their prowess to anything and anybody around. Time for all six of us to cram into the cab of the truck!

Just a thought, Yosemite is a beautiful place and I’m grateful I got to see it when one could go anywhere, camp anywhere, enjoy all of it. I called it “Mysemite”. I think I would be greatly disappointed to visit now having the memories of it that I carry.

I’ll never forget “Yosemite Firefall”

Yep on backfiring sometimes. A good friend of mine spent the night in his tree stand due to a prowling bear and his believe that if he ever set foot on the ground that night he would be bear fodder. The next day he declared he did not give a flip (nice way of putting it) about bear hunting, would never do it again and to this day he hasn’t done so. He don’t like bears in the same woods he’s in.

Was funny at the CBA shoot when it was at the south end of Camp Hale. We were way up the mountain on the Iron Man course and we found a little aspen pocket where someone had built a little wooden bivouac. This person had left his beer cans and beanie weenie cans laying about and a bear had demolished them. Just so happened I had a predator call in my bag. Well, the fun began. I thought the guy was roll me down the mountain he was so afraid I’d call a bear in. Not likely being there were several hundred people about but that made no difference to him.

A little cottontail with my little wooden bow that I bought at the five and dime was my first trad kill. At the time it was a world record!!!:D

Bill makes a very good bow, whether longbow or recurve. I think you’ll be pleased. I’ve been around him and his bows for many, many years. Have fun and enjoy. Ralph.
