Around the Campfire / Re: Northern lights tonight, post pics here!

We had them down here in Western NC too. I didn't see them because from our house the north and east are blocked by a high ridge. On the local news some folks posted pics they took of the Northern Lights. I think even down in SC they were visible.  8)

Could see them last night way down south in Wyoming!  They're supposed to be even brighter tonight, but it's cloudy.   :-\

Really, a euro mount of a northern would look pretty dramatic.  If I ever whack one bow fishing, I'd consider it.

Outstanding bow and great designs.  I’ve also made a few of these albeit lower poundage!  They hold up well and shoot quite fast.  I’m relation to the mosso bamboo I’ve done a mild heat treatment on mine on the fleshy side to really get it to the limits of strength and remain conservative on robust strength.  I leave the nodes intact.  Congrats on your win too.  Very nice indeed
