Announcements / Past due Bow Of the month hats
« Last post by sleek on November 14, 2025, 05:11:54 pm »
If you are owed a hat, please reach out to me with your information.  I received a box of them and it is likely to be the last order of these until the site picks up enough traction to afford another order. If you are owed several hats, let me know as well, but, as supply is limited, I am only going to ship out one for now until I am sure everyone has whats owed to them, or I run out again. In the future, hat pins may be something we consider for folks who win multiple times.

Absolutely lovely, and the brass tips make them pop!

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



Dang! That's cool!

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

There is a simple fix for bad shoulders that works a large percentage of the time, even on shoulders where dr,s say it needs surgery. About 1/2 way between your neck and your shoulder and about 3" down, have someone poke around with their finger and search for a tight ligament. You can feel it pretty easily, if you can't feel it ask the person with a shoulder problem to let you know when you hit a tender spot. Once you find it, just take your finger tips and work out the tightness with your fingers, slightly painful but usually gives relief by the next day and stays fixed for a long time.

I have a wooden cane that I use to hit tough knots in my neck and shoulders. Hurts like a bear until the knot relaxes.

This is actually in the joint itself, feels like burning and tearing at certain angles when either pushing or pulling. I borrowed a sling and have been keeping my arm supported and resting for about 3 days now. Things feel better, so I am hoping resting and icing will help heal things up.

Muzzleloaders / Re: Cut a black cherry tree, possible stock?

Unfortunately a lot of that will be sapwood. Don't know how that will work for a gun stock. I've never tried to build one so take that with a pinch of salt.

Congatulations on a beautiful deer!  I like a critter with a little character.  The last elk I killed has an elk-tine shaped ding in his skull, right between his eyes.  I bet that really hurt!

No, just glued with SmoothOn.

In fact, I don't know if it will stay or pop. I am not able (yet) to shoot this bow, so it is not really a problem yet.
