Yes I still feel very blessed.

I hope my grandchildren do when they are my age.

Thank to everyone who makes that possible

Amen brother. We should never forget and we should try to remember who we are. It's been difficult lately but I have faith in the America I grew up in for the last 75 years.

show of hands how many of us have a project started and it's stalled out because you have no idea what's next.

Man, I thought it was just me!

As for the quiver:  Looks great.  I can see the utility of the open-at-the-side quivers, but I've never used one because I'm afraid that it would always be collecting leaves, pine needles, and assorted gunk as I burrow through the brush trying to get closer to prey.

I do use a side quiver, but mine is enclosed.  I just pull an arrow out the back when I need one.  Not as efficient as this design.

Its been a terrible week in this country. Today marks one of the biggest blows to our country ever. Its been rough lately. Remember those who lost their lives, those who gave their lives, and the families who lost their loved ones. But dont forget how we bounced back, how we strengthened, and we recovered without even a complaint. We are strong, we are blessed, and we need to make certain we live everyday to a strong future and purpose.

Bows / Re: Do you have a chronograph? Id like help.

    This test has been conducted countless times. Dry fire speed is dry fire. Lighter arrows may not fly as far but they will always come out of the bow faster. Lighter arrows are less forgiving and require more tuning.

I dont know what happened to the reply that was on here, but it asked of id need to shoot the same arrows through the same bow. The answer is no. Im looking for a trend across bows, not specifically for one bows result. I need to build a shooting machine to really get solid results across my bows.

I have a chronograph in a box somewhere. Want me to go looking for it for you?

Well if you dont mind doing some shooting through it to test different arrows speeds at different weights?

The passage details the author's hands-on experience building a custom belt-mounted quiver that is:

Small but holds 6 arrows,

Functional with a self bow and day pack,

Easy to maneuver in dense terrain,

A practical upgrade from an earlier prototype.

It highlights the trial-and-error process, creative problem-solving, and the importance of gear customization in traditional bowhunting.

It also highlights the driving spirit behind many of us. The desire to DIY*. Many of us are not happy to buy solutions to every problem. Some of us take that concept so far that we get in over our heads (show of hands how many of us have a project started and it's stalled out because you have no idea what's next). But as we travel this road, the next obstacle is easier to beat because we have sharpened our problem-solving skills as we went along.

Don, That's a good looking and clearly functional quiver. May it quickly suit your needs or teach you what the next version needs to be, both options are a win.

In 28 years of bow making I have never had a problem with superglue filled checks on a bow. My motto is "fill them and forget them".

I don't even waste the superglue anymore.

None of those is heading for the edge of the bow and thus represents no issue at all.
