Now that might just be the coolest decorations on a rawhide backing I've ever seen!!!  Awesome work (as usual) Pat.  Did you sinew the bow under the rawhide too?

Well Pat you beat me to posting the pics but I think yous are better any way, Man what a sweet bow, just can't belive the graphics, what medicine. Nice job and I can't thank you enough. You are truly a master at any thing I have seen you do and have given more to primitive archery than any one I have ever known. It is an honor and pleasure to hunt with you.       Kenneth

The idea of pictographs was mine but my wife, Marcia came up with the design and the drawings. She drew the pictures with pensil and I traced them with India ink...and added the red!
  Lee I had so much trouble getting sinew to stick(completely sinewed twice) that I guessed Elkie didn't want that look. Now she has only a deer rawhide backing.
  Kenneth, I think she shoots as well as she did with sinew and at least now she will be less affected by wet conditions(moisture).  Sorry to upstage you.  ::)    I'm getting excited about our hunt! One week from tomorrow!!!  8)

Not long now Pat, this is opening morning and I am getting ready to head off to workl Looks like I will make my deadline by the skin of my teeth. How is the huricane expected to affect you? I shot Elkie again yesterday just before dark. The first shot wasa perfect kill shot at about 25 yards and then a couple of not quite heart shots (lack of focus on my part). Then I did a couole of chores and came back and took one more shot and it was a perfect shot as well at 29 yards so put her away and called it good. She shoots my hunting arrows perfectly and quieter than I thought was possible. Oh I added to her name a bit it is now Elkie a.k.a. Every picture tells a story don't it. Oh I weighed her in at 61-62 pounds at 28" so that is perfect for me and you are right she does shoot every bit as good as before and ready to get bloodied up here in the very near future. You are way too good, thanks a lot. I might try to run up to camp tomorrow and check our food stash and maybe try to get the tent set.           Kenneth

We are not getting any effects from Irene. Could use a little rain but I'm not complaining!!!  ;D
  Maybe Elkie will live up to her name this trip. That would be way cool.  8)

Pat, no trip up to camp today but got some much needed rest and some work done here aroound the place and gathered up last minute short list items. I might just be being optimistic but I just know God will smile on us in a very positive way, Elkie will live up to her name and you will also have your dream come true. Aim small miss small.         Kenneth
