I will have to bring my staves to turkey camp for a quick lesson, when we're not hunting, of course!

I dare ya!

I always bring something to work on. And I never get any of it done.  I am either hunting hard, cooking/eating, or sleeping!  Well, except for the time that we hunted down Primitive Tim, tripped him with a handthrown bolo with caribou antler weights and then shot him with a bow. Not even exaggerating, there is video.

I remember that video.  I was just thinking about that last night while I was reading an article in PA by Ryan Gill that mentioned Primitive Tim.  That video made me realize if I ever come to Turkey camp, I best be packing lots of ammo for protection from those South Dakota predators.

Looks like they are making good progress!  I will be back to work on the hickory stave tomorrow.  Snow is coming here, too!  Getting close to a brace height, trying like heck to stay under 45# draw weight, still got plenty of wood.  Turkey camp sounds like my camp, except for the hunting hard part!  I never get any of those projects done either, but at least I have them along, if the weather turns nasty, or I need a day in camp to rest up.

Yeah, I know and I thank you for that.  That spot you have looks great!  I'm on the fence about sinew backing a bow at the moment and would love to come join you all.

Good to hear, JW!  You're sure to enjoy it.  I'm also certain your "way with words" will be an education of its own.  :)

Dally showed up early and started to radius the corners on the back of the bow.  When Rob finally dragged himself in 2 minutes late for class without a note from Mrs, he got to floor tillering.  He has one limb that has a little forward and backward whooptey-doop, so used a straight edge to draw a line down the side of the limb, establishing something to use to judge how she is bending.

Both bows have some character, but the limb tips line up perfectly with the center of the handle.  No need for heat treating to correct that!!!

These guys are having a great time and are doing a nice job on their wood!
