Surely he meant not to use the saw on the recurve:D:roll:

Wonder if low wrist vs high wrist grip, often difference in longbows and receives messing with your sub concious sight picture?

Probably good deal Steve. Have fun chasing squirrels.

Civilization encroached on my old prairie dog hunting grounds.

One of my best hunting/shooting days ever one time: I got two of those little buggers in one day. Normal count was zero.

They never let you get close, you’re outnumbered, they always have a sentinel, and they can get in those burrows mighty, mighty quick.

They got more to worry about than me hitting them with my arrow..

That didn’t work at all with my folks, the literary license… The soap tasted awful……..:roll: Wasn’t elegant soap I guess…….probably wouldn’t of mattered though, I don’t imagine any soap was designed to taste good. If so we might all be using literary license more often, not just writers. 😀

Was just wonderin what ol’Andy Capp would think about my carrying a quiver full of carbon darts into his pub one evening.

He might not even notice giving it second thought, he never spots the canal before he’s wet.

Ahhh!!! The smell of cedar…:D

Hard to make kindling out of carbon in a pinch uh!!!:wink:

Just got through making up 18 woodies., Best cedar shafting I’ve come across in years. Very straight to start with, nice grain. One shaft spined 49#, three or four @52 the rest 50# or 51#. Weigh within 10 grs. Sweet

Made’em up simple.

One day at a time, know where you’re coming from, one arrow at a time too! 😀

Just wonderin:? If you got your mind on your form, you got your mind on your spot? Just wonderin:D:D

R2-First of all, I like the looks of that bow!! Second, I am impressed with your engineering to prolong the life of that target. I shoot a very similar target and I have a very similar issue, but instead of fixing it up nice, I just start shooting at the back leg after the chest is shot out of it.

Thx about both!

His name is now Stumpy…

The walking bear target I had got named “Humpy” when I engineered it.

I’ll leave that up to your imagination. 🙄

Some targets I can extend their shooting life, some I cannot. Depends on where they fail. Lot of them the back breaks and I haven’t solved that yet. Other than quit shooting high.:D Ummmmm, maybe they’re ducking the arrow????:wink:

Whoops, Dave. I guess when this ol’fellar that grew up in the west and has lived in the Texas Panhandle since ’63’, sees “Jersey” he thinks of the NYC skyline and a bunch of old TV and movie references.

I know there’s pretty country in the NE, just never been up that way…

Be well………….

You want some more? We have miles and miles of it. No city view though.

Gettin dry around here again.

If it does snow and I get a wayfaring arrow in it I will dig around for it for awhile.

If I stupidly get one in these prickly pear patches, a no shoot zone, it belongs to Diana……..:D

Glad you got to get out Dave..

Nice here today also

I was gonna get out to my lease but had to take care of some electrical stuff around the house. That’s the one thing I do know about, others not so much…:D

Shot some of my older bows out back though. Love those bows but they’re about to outgrow me some methinks.

I be better off right now with 45, 46 47, 48 pounds rather than 52, 54, 55 pounds.

Easy to get sloppy after a dozen or so shots.

My wife says I’m sloppy enough without adding to it. 🙄

Very nice picture.
