Stumping

Pretty sure it's still 50#.
But I keep another 52# recurve , as well as my 51# Widow just in case I get drawn.
BTW, I love my American Leathers gloves.
I alternate between a Big Shot, Crossover, and a Kangaroo glove. Doesn't seem to make too much difference.

(I love to hang stuff upside down, too.) UGH!

I'm going to be working during etar.  Never been to it. But think I would have went.  I'd like to try some of those bows.  Just to see what their all about.

Unreal how these put the brakes on the arrow.  After 20 feet they may start to veer in direction.   But for a squirrel that's 20 feet up in a tree limb.  They would be great for finding arrows.  My 4 fletch flu flus can still travel a decent ways in wooded terrain that you could have a hard time finding the arrow. Not sure what a 6 fletch would work like.  They'd probably be difficult to have enough room on a micro diameter shaft to glue on.

Arrow

Close call...

Fox longbow

What arrows are those?

Black eagle Vintage I believe.

Just a grouse.



My dad and I in his archery shop.  1971-ish



The cabin I used to hunt out of when I lived in northern Illinois. Very thankful for a friend that let me hunt his private land there.



The inscription on my bow from Dad.  He died suddenly before he ever saw me shoot it. 



Moose hunting in Alaska



A moose I sneaked up on in Alaska.  No shot.



The Cascade Archery recurve that Steve Gorr made me 2 years ago.

New bows first 3D shoot

Archie, what veneers are on that now with the grouse?

The message on the bow from your father, funny how those things work. With him sending a little message you get not until after he's gone.

Spalted Sycamore.  Here's an old pic I have on the computer of that bow... I probably posted this on TradGang 15 years ago...

Just the different wood veneers these days make you want to get another bow.   My ASL is Spalted maple.

A few of mine.

Just a few from this year. October is a long wait.

Those pictures in the mountains look like a good old time.  That little red bow your son got is almost the same as the first one I had.  What a Christmas that was.  I think it was 25 lbs. not black on the tips

Picture threads are the best! Great pictures everyone!
