Shooting and Hunting / Another good day
« Last post by Pappy on December 07, 2025, 08:17:42 pm »
Hadn't been hunting much with my shoulder problem but decided to go Saturday morning before the Doctors tell me not to :)Got to meet with him Wednesday so figured this might be my last chance. Cold morning and the deer were really moving, seen 14 in all, have done kill my bucks, so doe only. This one came in with a 4 others, 9 yards and made a good shot, double lung and top of heart, ran 60 yards and I seen her go down, all over in seconds, don't always go that way but has been a good year. 87 lb. doe, shot with my old trusty Osage, spruce arrow and 160 ace head. Freezer is filling up. :)

Don't think this arrow can be fixed, This is the arrow I used on my last buck, broke the end off when in lodged in the off shoulder, fix it with one of Jim Davis's arrow fix, then washed it off and used it on the doe, I think it is done now.  ;) :) Rarely get 2 deer with wood arrows anyway so this was a plus. Thanks Jim the arrow repair is a fine product, and no he ant paying me to say that. ;) :) :) :) Had a good fire Saturday nigh and a good nights sleep. Hope yall had a good one also.Life is Good.  :)

Bows / Re: The best shape for a reflexed bow?
« Last post by Selfbowman on December 07, 2025, 07:56:03 pm »
Having built only two computer  design bows I will say this. Building a selfbow and achieving the spec are a challenge to say the least. The crown gets me every time. I built the second one by the dimensions and the force draw and bend profile. Laminate bows would probably be much easier. The next one build I will build it as close to the dimensions as possible before I put a string on the bow. I know I’m not going to be as perfect as the computer but I will have not stressed the wood in any way. The other trick will be matching the properties for the design. Since I know nothing about computer design I have to leave that to the smart guys. I do think that if the properties are put into the computer and the builder matches the dimensions it will turn out as predicted. That’s a lot to expect from a Texas cowboy.🤠🤠

I decided to get back out in the woods Saturday morning before the doc tells me I can't, ;) and what a morning it was, seen 2 bucks which I can't shoot /2 buttons and 9 doe, brought 1 of the doe's home with me, was using my old faithful Osage bow/spruce shafts with 160 ace head, been quite a year, 9 yards double lung and top of heart, ran 60 yards and I seen her go down, love it when it goes like that.  :)the only place  my girls like better than their chair by the fire is the meat pole.  :)

Had another deer to process so got on it Friday, got about 35lbs of burger and steaks not counting the shoulders. Shawn also had a road kill buck, We processed it also, mainly hit in the head so lots of good meat on it, Will took the hide/Shawn the meat and I got the horns.  :)
