Thanks Kenneth, it was definitely one of my more productive scouting trips. hought he was a bull coming down the trail. It was almost dark, and he got past me before I realized it was a hog. Saw him one other timr from about 150 yards.

That is one big pig.  I guess it could be a new weight loss program.  By the time you get done chewing a chop, you have burned more calories than you get.  I guess I would have shot him if I had to.  Justin

PAPPY, this bow sizzles. I don't know how it'll wind up, but I like it. Its still a little heavy for your draw, but I think it'll lighten up with the finish. By the way, you owe me two arrows. I was only fifteen yards away, but it dead centered two nocks. (always shoot better when I'm not trying). Keenan, if I can get to thPO tomorrow, I'll send it off.

Justin, thanks... I felt I had to. Beside, makes good sausage.... lots of sausage.

I piked 1 1/2" off of each limb on Keenan's yew bow so now she is 62 1/2"t/t, and
53#@24", 60#@26". She seems quite a bit quicker now and will be even more so when the tips are reduced. So Steve, are you ready for her?  I'll let you know when I send her out or you let me know when you want her. Who is doing the finish work on Keenan's bow?    Pat

   Yee Haw !!  Awesome Pat,  Sounds perfect for my short stubby arms..lol..  I would have to use my feet to get it past 26" draw so I think we are safe there.  3 1/2 lbs. per inch is right about where my ambush bow hits on the FD chart as well.  Thanks,    Keenan

Can you guys let me know when you do this again? I would love to get in on this in the future.

David,  we will try to remember to let you know when we do it again.  My memory is spectacular, kind of like a computer, I just wish I knew which buttons to push to get the information I need.  ;D I usually remember about 2 weeks after I need to.  I would like to do it again about the same time next year, so keep your eyes open.  Justin

David this started a little slow this year with the Community bow going on ,but now has taken off.
You for sure need to be in next time,it's been fun just wondering and waiting for what you get next.I am still waiting on my next project from Mullet,I think it is PatB's bow.I think he is sending it out this weekend.

Pat, whenever is good with me. Maybe I'll get some free time in the next week to actually work on 'em.

 This is getting fun, one bow right after another.The anticipation of what is coming next is great. I picked up Brian's bow yesturday and Chris did a real fine job roughing it out to floor tiller.  I got the dilivery slip three days ago but did't get a chance to pick it up till yesturday.  I'll keep an eye out for the next one Chris.   Keenan
