WET!!!!!! It's been raining and snowing and raining for about 5 weeks!!! But it's giving me time to make arrows and some leather stuff and willow string. I've been on a flint knapping day also,but I still only make big flints into smaller flints,but it's fun doing it ;)
I hope all is well with you and yours??
Thanks for your time.

Totaly cool photo Hawk. My wife is a camera nut and always looking for a photo opportunity, will get her working on it as soon as she returns from her Texas trip. Looks like you use the same brand of targets as I do. I have been wanting to get about 20 crappy bales set up thru the woods for a poor boys 3d range. I also love to shoot the bales in the hay field, all different distances and angles. They all look like big game to me.     Kenneth

I hear you brother, all my horses are starting to wonder why I kill their food so many times before feeding it to them ;D I am one of the few Wyomingites who has to pick through my hay to find lost broadheads before feeding it. 8) can't wait for your pics brother.. Hawk a/ho

Post by: Little John on February 22, 2009, 11:53:43 am
Yep I have done that, almost need a metal detecter to find those lost broadheads and I hardly shoot any other kind. Speaking of horses, have you tried mounted archery? It sure adds,  a new twist to shooting, sure will be nice when the snow and mud gets gone.      Kenneth

Here you go Hawkbow - too bad paper plates don't taste like venison.

Nice pic's Knocker, killing lots of plates in the summer increase the odds of killing venison in the fall! ;)

Hi,
The photos were from summer last year and the bow is one that I made about the same time, an ash and lemonwood ELB.
Thanks for your time.
