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

Bows / Re: How to "shoot in" a bow when you cannot shoot?

Getting old or injured is no fun.  Maybe time for an apprentice to pass the heavy lifting and knowledge to.  Speaking of knowledge how does one shoot in a new bow?  Do you shoot at shorter draw lengths gradually getting to full draw?  What are you trying to achieve that cant be done on a tiller tree? I hope you stay healthy...

« Last post by sleek on November 12, 2025, 03:56:10 pm »
The northern lights are dazzling the US and hopefully tonight we will get an even stronger storm. Here are a few pics I took last night. We are also at the peak of the torrid meteor shower tonight, so if you are photographically inclined, you have a once in a lifetime opportunity tonight. Ill be out there trying to get some good shots. It starts at dusk and continues through about 1 am. Ill be out there with a bow trying to get some dramatic archery shots. I hope yall all head out tonight and post your pictures here!
