. . . glad you are here . . .

[Scyth]

To make a long story short -

————————

“. . . I think I can be characterized as a Feral Bushman :

the ability to adapt to Anthropocene Era . . . “

————————

To wit :

. . . back in 1970 I built a Yahi bow from Southern Oregon Yew . . .
 
it was a working bow & I killed my share of small game with it . . .

(pictured above).

I still have it & it still is operational.

————————

I have returned to my roots at long last (I am 68 years of age) . . .

I found a gorgeous balk of Red Elm that I intend to build a Pit River bow about 40 pounds in weight .

regards,

Scyth

Welcome aboard! We all eagerly await seeing your work and helping you more than you asked for No, but really, we live to live vicariously through other peoples builds, no mater how many of our own we have going.

Welcome to PA, Scyth. 68 years old is a perfect age as far as I'm concerned.    Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome aboard!  As a newbie, I got a couple more years on you, that's all!  Have fun!  These guys have probably forgotten more than I am going to learn about bow making, etc.

Thanks very much for your welcome !

Question :
I put a post entitled “. . . any practitioners of Mongolian release . . .”
in the “Main Discussion Area/Bows” where does the subject of primitive “Form” (in the respects) located ? ?

regards,

Scyth

Scyth, try putting it in the Horn Bow section. Folks there would be more familiar with the term there.
