Title: My Ol' Buck still shooting and hunting.
Post by: George D. Stout on October 08, 2016, 07:39:40 pm

Ol' Buck has been with me since 1989.  He has traveled North America for a little over six years, and came back home in 2013.  We still spend some woods time together, and he still casts a nice arrow.  York lemonwood longbow, circa 1940's, 67",  52#.  Took a nice whitetail with this bow in 1992 and some rabbits and squirrels since.   Amazing resilience and a true friend.

Way to keep an old champ active. I have a few old lemonwood bows(one a York ELB style) but don't shoot them. Glad to see they can still be productive with a little reeducation and exercise. Well done, George.
