Bows / Re: 2025 Junior Bow Trade
« Last post by paulc on Today at 04:27:21 pm »
Here is my elm bow after the weekends work of removing more wood and heat treating some more.  I don't think I can do any more straightening as where it needs to move is where there are knots or some other thing going on that I am afraid to tweak any.  I hope to get it on my tillering board this weekend and get the limbs moving.  Take a look at the pics, and the knot pic.  Thoughts?  The knot is on the belly, but also right about at a fade so not great placement.  I have filled it with superglue and will just hope it is okay I guess....Again, don't wait on me if everyone else is ready to ship!  I've a long way to go yet.  Paul

Found a couple little groves of these while walking my dog. Never ate one before. Only took a few home with me.

I planted 2 pawpaws years ago. They have grown into thickets that bloom every spring but have never produced fruit. I've eaten pawpaws a few times and they are pretty good but they don't have a long shelf life.

Amen. I remember it well, exactly where I was and everyone flying the little American flags that hook to the window of your car. I still have the September 12th newspaper.

Bows / Re: Looking for a 400 yard shot

I've been working on flight arrows to try and get the 400yards, only 20" arrows for a 23" draw.
Dunno if this video I made will be of interest?

I ended up  with about 30 bags of tomato sauce in the freezer. Each bag holds about 1/3 gallon. They are laid flat, stacked on a cookie sheet and put into the freezer. These will last us all winter and it is nice to have fresh tasting tomato sauce to make chili, spaghetti, red beans and rice or stewed okra and tomatoes and other good eating.  -C-   :OK

Sleek, I'm with badger. Both, drawweight and arrowweight have a linear correllation to arrowspeed. My own testing on the shooting machine always shows this same results. Cheers
