Thinking about a "Burning of the Bows" at the Classic. We could all pile up our duds and send them off properly in flames, together!

I think that is a great idea.  Folks can stand up and eulogize the bow before committing it to the cleansing fire.  The rest of us will watch with heads bowed and toast the bow with a beverage of choice. 

Yup, sounds mighty good.

And everybody can eat humble smores. It just sounds better than humble pie. So long as the finish on the bows arent toxic....

Just make this better the bow I had for Kris broke today while shooting it in! What a crazy trade this one is. Guess I get to add to the fire at the classic. Burn babies burn.

Man! What a bummer!  On both bows.  Of course, I have little doubt that we'll see both the replacement bows finished and shot in by Sunday night from you guys.   As far as the burning of the bows goes, I would have to pull a second trailer to carry all of mine down. :-[  Josh

LMAO.. Here I thought I was the only one who had bows break:) Now all you Bowyers are coming out of the closet with your horror stories:) LOL...

I remember my first bow that blew up on the tree. Thought I was gonna cry, damn near did too. Now when it happens, I just smile and start all over. But when you get one to hold together, and ya get to fling arrows out of that new bow, Well that makes this wood bow building adventure all worth while:)

Pearly Boy and I had our own bow swap this past winter. The first two bows I was making for him blew up. Well with the first one, the bamboo splintered up and the second, the Osage limb just exploded on the tree, I almost cried again, LOL:) But the third time was a charm and I sent him a sweet BBO. Right Pearly Boy?:)
